Thank you everyone for your advice! I really appreciate it.

Thank you!!!

Hello all! I'm a new member on this site. I joined because I just took a job as a PCA on the oncology floor of a local hospital. The floor only has solid tumor patients, and the nurses who interviewed me said the patients were usually high acuity. I'll be on the night shift from 7 pm - 7 am. As this is my first PCA job, I have no idea what to expect. I just received my CNA certification a few months ago, so I'm very new. This also makes me extremely nervous. I am finishing up my prerequisites for nursing school, and would really like to work oncology when I get my RN, so I'd like not to screw this job up. Any tips from anyone about what makes a good PCA? What can I expect to do on my work nights? Any advice would be great. Thanks!
