I am young and sometimes I feel defeated but your videos really have been encouraging me! I’m 19 and went to work at a hospital as a sitter for a year and next week I will be starting my new position as an ER PCT no certification 🥳next up the TEAS and applying for nursing program 🥳thanks for these videos! They really relaxed my nerves and got me excited while waiting on my time to come !
Nursing home is $8-$13 and hospital is $11-$15 for CNA and PCA training.
I am studying to be a PCT/Phlebotomy. I can’t wait to finish in one year.
So just got hired as a pct on the med/surg floor and already talking about cross training me for monitor tech. Very excited yet nervous
that is AMAZING! What a great opportunity!!! don't be nervous, you got this :)
What is a monitor tech?
I wil pass in Jesus name
Passing the CNA is when you study hard,if you can't study or you don't have time for your studies I'd advise you get yourself help like mr Scott
I failed twice, i lost money to reviews that never helped but the major thing is that I've not lost hope
Hey There! Just subscribed! I started in training as a PCT, I'm on my 4th week. Here in Oregon, you can go through a 3 month training program through the employer. I'm not sure if I can physically do it as I'm older, but I'm gonna try, lol. I haven't read the comments, so you may already know this, but you had at least (not rhru with the vid yet) 2 or 3 energy, light orbs, very cool! Thank You for sharing! I'll check out your other vids too!❤
I am currently caregiver but fixing to work at hospital in Amarillo tx for Patient care tech on the weekends I am ready
Thank you for the indeed tutorial.
Period sis love this video. Im from michigan toooo and im about to start of as a CNA and grow to a PCT by the time I graduate in june : )
YASSSSS!! get that certification love! That's what I did, and it definitely helped me out in the end, congratulations! :)
I love your videos keep up the good work
thank you so much love! i'm so glad you like them!
I just have my interview today i star the program for the PCT position in September
First off girl your stunning and second this was so helpful I'm getting my cna certification and going to work as a patient care tech in the hospital either the one I already work at as a evs associate or another sister hospital with the same company
You're so sweet, thank you so so much! and i'm so glad I could help you out! you're going to love it, i've seen so many different things, and have had so many experiences. Very rewarding :)
That's very little money, which seems similar to M.A.
This was so helpful I'm going to watch this again with my pen and paper in hand...Thank u
you're very welcome! I'm glad it was helpful :)
@@_BriannaNicole_ I took the test I'm waiting on my results
I’m interested those classes but I have problem with English, I’m CNA school right now, I read a lot that American speaker because I want to pass the License exam.
Are 12-hr shifts the only option? Some ppl can only do 8 hr shifts bc of kids. Thank you so much for all your excellent vids! You’re an Angel.
I just got hired for patient care tech.
I am a CNA and I’m bout to go to hospital and eventually cross train for other Things I’d love to do phlebotomy program one day.
It's a high demanding job
Are you required to take PCT classes which take up to around a year of schooling or can we just get CNA certification and pass our CPCT/A exam to get our PCT certification
I am living in NY , I will take my PCT exam !! But first I need to get my Ekg class , I had already my CNA and CPT certificates ☺️☺️
I keep hearing about a PCT exam, i didn't even know there was one lol But YESSSSSSS!!!! you got this love, you're going to do great!
That’s wonderful I’m in Ny too just don’t know where to get the training
Yes 🙌 !!! I finished with my ECG class and I have already date for my Pct exam to be certificate 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
@@jasminebarnes5650 I took all my classes in Royal learning institute in Manhattan :)
@@2126sammy thanks so much just finished my cna classes at big apple training in white plains NY they have ekg and phlebotomy thanks so much I will still check that one out and compare prices😊
Hi there ...👋 What is the real difference between Patient care technician and Critical Care Technologist???
Please tell
thank you for your video i am a medical assistant can i still do my pct
Hi, I am Babu; I am planning on doing PCT. Also, I have just graduated from High School. Please tell me about the exam, which one to apply for, how to study for the exam, and more?
Please.
Hi 👋 I’m BRIANNA TOO 🎉❤
Any insight on what they’re actually looking for in a resume?
I was able to get a job at a hospital as a PCA while enrolled in my CNA program. If you’re enrolled in a CNA or 2nd semester of an run program you qualify! Not sure if that’s a new rule or not :)
Hi what are your hours as a pca? A hospital called me and told its Ft days but didn’t specify the exact hours.
I HAVE BEEN LOOKING TO GET CNA CERTIFIED WHICH PROGRAM DID YOU GO THRU BECAUSE EVERYTIME I FILL OUT A FORM 100 DIFFERENT SCHOOLS START CALLING I NEED TO DO AND ONLINE COURSE OR SOMETHING IM JUST TRYING TO GET MY CNA LICENSE OR PCT LICENSE
Why you still need Cna for?
Is there pay differentials for the weekend?
I was doing my CNA I'm done, my PTC is next now but I'm kind of borried cause I went to do my clinical and I was bathing a lot people and changing pampers and doing a lot heavy work and I hope PTC is more kind a variety of the job cause I don't want be reduce just to change a pamper you know. Cause I was reading CNA and PTC is pretty much the same ?? You think that ? Thanks 👍
Do you need a cna in order to go to school for PCA ? Cause if not I’m bout to sign up this school that offers them for certificate ?
What did you use to study for your exam? Did you use anything specific? Any advice or recommendations?
The school i went to, actually did a lot of practice tests with us! (With one being graded), so i felt very prepared to take the test for certification. I know for skills, i wrote the skill and the different steps of the skill on notecards, and tested myself, and well as having someone look home the cards, watch me do the skills and tell me if i missed anything!
I’m currently in the RN BSN program. I’m thinking about working as a PCT starting in the summer. However, I did not complete the first semester due to personal reasons. I will go back to complete foundations next semester. But is it true I gotta complete foundations class first before becoming a PCT?? For idk if I’ll get the job for not completing it.
How old you have to be to work as a PCT? My daughter will certified through her high school program but she will only be 17 when she graduates.
Hello, I have my CNA already so do I need the PCT certificate as well??
HELLO PLEASEE DO YOU HAVE LINKS WHERE I CAN STUDY ABOUT PCT I HAVE THE EXAM COMING UO SOON. THANK YOU
Nice video ❤🥰your video is so cool, honestly CNA is such a difficult test man , really don’t know what to do but I’m never losing hope.
At times it doesn’t matter how hard you study you also need to pray to God for success..🤲🤲
Please does anyone know who this Mrs Brenda is ? I really need to speak with her I’m frustrated..
@Raphael Scott wow so sorry you failed , I have heard so much about Brenda but I don’t actually have her info ..
The truth is most FNP’s, A-GNP’s, ENP’s and NP’s you see today passed with Brenda’s help, my sister passed thanks Brenda and I’ll be sitting for my exam in two weeks, I’m studying what Brenda provided already, I trust her and I know with her I’ll pass .
wow I’m surprised to see Brenda mentioned here, I worked with her few years back and I passed my CNA, I’ll be going for nurse practitioner exams and she’s gonna be my back bone.
I literally just got a job offer as a CNA here at a hospital in Atlanta, for my department it says icu but I don't see many videos on that department. Do you know some of the task we would have to do in that department ? I seen a video of a can in the OR and she was mopping and just folding and im find with starting from the bottom but I would like to know what kind of things I may run into in the icu.
I actually just worked in an ICU on Saturday! I didn’t make a video, because i found it to be like any other tech job I’ve done, so making sure the room is stocked, food trays are passed, assist nurses with patient care (changing patients, blood sugars, vitals if needed, changing beds, washing patients, helping with toileting, etc.). The icu i worked in, only had 12 beds, so it’s a fairly small department, but idk how it is at other hospitals. I would also ask the nurses to let you watch them with meds, fluids etc. if you’re interested! I didn’t have to do any ivs, or blood draws (except to remove them), because with them being in the icu, they’d have an IV nurse do the insertions. But it should still keep your fairly busy!
@@_BriannaNicole_ thank you so much for the response I’m very excited to get started. I actually want to be a midwife so I definitely will be trying to watch and learn all there is to know, which is why more than anything I just wanted to be in a hospital to see and be around what it is I want to actually be an do. Your videos are an inspiration...KEEP IT UP 👏🏽👏🏽❤️❤️
Can I do pct certificate and CNA?
Can you suggest health care job that does not have to working with drawing blood
You can be a cna! They are not required to do blood draws, only patient care (bed baths, helping with meals, cleaning, etc.). That would be perfect if you want to work in healthcare and not d blood draws
I’m a nursing graduate years ago but haven’t taken my NCLEX.Can I apply as a PCT ?
Yes you can.
Can u get hired as a CMA?
Can pct work overtime
I’m applying to a PCT program I found two one is online and had open enrollment and the other is in person that starts at the end of September! Do you think taking it online will be okay? Or is it better to take in person?
@Aurora I gonna do the one online it fits better with my schedule. However, I am now considering either the PCT program or the dental assistant program!
How did you find the online one
@@linustheflatcoatedretrieve3 Do you need to become a CNA first in order to become a patient care technician?
pls share online link of PCT... thanks! i live in NJ
I’m wanting to try and pursue this honestly but I’m kinda dumb and have ADD lol definitely not good with math at all it’s horrible how bad I am would I be okay to still pursue this??
I am in the same boat as you. I am actually a care giver right now. (Same thing as a cna minus the certificate. Lol) and it’s pretty easy! I’m not sure about patient care tech, but I am assuming it’s a lot like a cna.
Can you work as a PCT if you are a medical assistant?
It all depends on your experience! I’m not too familiar with medical assistants, but i do know that they also have the ability to do administrative work. If you’re doing direct patient care as a medical assistant (vitals, bed baths, dressing, changing, feeding, etc.) then i don’t see why not! You might just learn a few more extra things as a tech (blood draws and ivs), but there are usually trainings for those tasks anyways!
new subby 😊
Welcome to the family love!!!! 🥰
You welcome 😊@@_BriannaNicole_
Thanks for your help 👍 i m exciting because I will start my first job in 2 weeks as PCA in a hospital (i have CNA AND PCA CERTIFICATION) but I m nervous too 😓 i m in New Jersey.
I want to know what is the difference between PCA and PCT? Thanks for to share your experience with us and God bless you 🙏(new subscriber!!)
Hi . ANa Julia what school do you recomend me,because I want to take the course
Do you have more information about this career. Thanks
@@LunaLuna-uc7hi Hi Luna
depend in what state are you living, I m in New Jersey so i went in AMCA getting my license ,that school is here in NJ and is good 👌
@@anajuliamorales7283 thanks for answer me, this information is very helpfull, Becuse I living in new jersey state.
@@LunaLuna-uc7hi your welcome 🙏 good luck 👍
What is the different within PCA and PCT ??
I’m in NJ and I’m planning on doing the PCT program, my only problem is finding a good school to go to 😢 I’m just not sure which is good, or how much it should cost
I’m from NJ too. Try the NJ Training Systems website. Good luck !
Do ptc have to draw blood
Yes they do!!
Sister I pass my basic nursing diploma of four years in pakistan.. Can I come to your country for job?
you must be authorized to work in the u.s. and present legal documents to employer of your legal presence in the u.s.
Is a patient care assistant the same as patient care technician?
Yes it is!!! Some places just use different terminology, but they’re the same thing
Is there any way you can get training free?
definitely! there are some hospitals that offer on the job training. when you apply for certain tech/cna jobs, just look at the description or reach out to the hiring managers and ask if they do :)
Hi, which did/do you find best between CNA & PCT?
cna is better you can do more pct can't do a lot like cna.
Based on my research, your scope is broader as a PCT
@beautifulbarbie602 @Zenobiaharris thank you both for your responses.
Can you get this job without certificate or experience?
you must pass PCT license exam. Employers are looking for certification
If I already have my cna can I get my pct ?
yes you can! That's how i started out, I was able to get my pct jobs because of my cna license. Pcts do have to do some skills that cna's don't do, but they usually have trainings during orientation to teach you those skills (phlebotomy, etc.)
@@_BriannaNicole_ ok so I don't have to get my pct ? If I'm already a cna ?
@@_BriannaNicole_ do you need the cna first or can you just do the pct alone?
Yes just got back to do phlebotomy and EKG training
How long did it take to reach $21 an hour from your first job as a $12 and hour?
Depends on the state cause pct’s where i live in cali do around $20/hr with minimum being at 15
Good question
Never accept less than $26 a hr here in nyc alot of places start at $28
Do you get to pick what department you can work?
Being a float tech, I just go wherever they send me for the day! I wish I could pick lol If you don't work as a float tech, you can definitely pick, just make sure you apply to the department you are interested in!
