I think your chances for working at that particular hospital are unlikely. As a nursing student, I worked as a PCT. The most valuable experience I could have gained. Yes, it was tough. I learned so much about time management, prioritizing, and communicating with other members of the team. 15 patients that require total care and have altered mental status is a heavy team but these are conditions I've dealt with numerous times and it was hard. As an RN, the pay still will not be what is expected in comparison to the work put in. Depending on the patient, assisting with ADL's will vary. Once I began to develop relationships with the nurses, I learned so much more. I wasn't able to do everything a licensed RN could do but some of the observations were just as fulfilling. I also learned a lot about myself and what I needed to improve.

Congrats! I passed the NCLEX back in February. I also used the old Hurst Review videos for content. I followed those up with Kaplan question trainers and q bank. 75 questions and out.
