I finished a CNA course at the Manhattan Institute, I reviewed it in a different thread if anyone is interested. If someone can answer a few questions I would be very happy.
1) Will I make more as a PCT?
2) From what I been told a PCT is a CNA who learns Phlebotomy and EKG is this true?
3) If it is true, then why would I take a PCT course if I work in a Nursing home where there is no Phlebotomy or EKG?
4) Five years ago I almost took the PCT class and it was called Nurse Technican, why is that?
5) Every school I checked for CNA the class was the same hours, the class for PCT varies, does anyone know why?
6) Is there a State test for PCT?
A million thanks for anyone that could help me. Besides the expense, I am not a big fan of going to school and all that goes into it. My main reason to study is to earn more pay.
Hi, Sorry I would've messaged you but I don't know how to use this site because I am new at it. But I saw one of your old posts saying that you've taken the hesi a2 exam. I was just wondering what study guide you used. I am planning on taking the test next week but I want to use a study guide that actually works. Thanks!
I used the Evolve Reach Admissions Assessment Exam Review (ISBN#978-1416056355). It does a great job of preparing you for the non-science section. My English Language score was 96.57% and my Math score was 100%. The study guide wasn't bad for bio & chem I thought - got an 88% on both sections. A&P is hit or miss because they are such broad topics. My overall score was a 93.87% so all in all... can't complain about the study guide :)
