      Do u have to take vaccines yearly in the medical field? I wanted to go to school to be a x-ray tech. And I'm highly against vaccines.

      They want you to get the flu shot yearly around Nov.-Dec., and if you don't get it, you have to wear a mask until March/April. I stopped getting the flu shot and chose to wear the mask instead. But with C-19, everyone has to wear a mask now lol haha

      In the hospital they make rounds every 2 hrs taking vital signs, take out trash, assistant with toilet n bathing/ I guess it depends where you're a pct but I wouldn't want to be one in the nurse home, I rather be one in the hospital because you can learn more

    Yup! The tea part is right! That’s why for me, I always told myself that if there’s drama going on at work I have to be positive all the time. Like if people talked bad about others to me , I tried not to say anything bad about the other person. Because i don’t know the other person so why say something bad due to a one side drama lol. So I always try to stay positive as much as I can. Aha

    Hi Kay! I’ve been enjoying your videos. Thank you for your advice. I’m a Covid 19 screener and was wondering about a PCT position in ambulatory services. Do you know much about that environment? Is it much different from other areas? It’s outpatient so I was thinking it might be not be as much bathing /toileting. And I’m not sure I would enjoy any of that 😂. Any information is greatly appreciated 🙏. Keep up the great videos!
