For next fall, I know I have classes every day that start at 9:40 am, and on Friday at 9:10. That's only because I'm taking a summer class to get it over with. Our program is really crazy, I have 7 classes now and I would have 8 in the fall if I didn't decide to take that one in the summer. I really appreciate your help because I have hardly any background and I want to make a good decision that I'll be happy with.

That's a good idea! I don't have much background so I'm just trying to make a good decision so that I'll like it. Do you think that 2 12 hour shifts in a row is going to be impossible? It's every other weekend so at least it isn't every week.

Hi, thank you for replying! I just talked to the woman in charge again and she said she'd not recommend the float since I don't have any experience yet. They also have a critical care step down unit. I'm so overwhelmed with trying to choose and I have to stay on the floor I pick for 6 months.

Hello! First off, I'm so sorry if this is in the wrong spot, I'm new to the site. I'm almost done my freshman year in a new 4 year nursing program, and we don't have any nursing classes until the spring of our sophomore year. Needless to say, I have no background on nursing except what I observed when I shadowed on a med surge floor. Our school gave out fliers from a local hospital to work as PCT there, they will train you on the job. I haven't applied yet but I'm really thinking about it. The floors available are float, acute cardiac, med surge and tele. I thought float would be cool to see many different things, but I'm not sure if it will be overwhelming. I didn't love med surge from shadowing,so that would probably be my last choice, but anything you guys could tell me about these floors or make recommendations would be awesome. Also, what is your day like? What do you do as a PCT? My shift will be every other weekend both days, 12 hours. Thank you so much in advance.
