It looks like there are several other comments like this but it's two years later and I want to echo that this is exactly what I needed. I just received my offer letter for a night shift float PCT at a big hospital 😁 thank you🙏🏽🙇🏽
Very well done! Thank you for doing this. It answered a lot of questions I had as far as what exactly PCT's do. 10-years ago I went for my EMT-b and loved it but some "life" happened and I had to walk away. Now I'm going back for my RN and contemplating doing PCT under a CNA cert. Watching this helped A LOT. Thank you!
I love this video best one I’ve ran across I want to become a NICU Nurse but I’m looking to start off as a PCT I’m a C.N.A now anyway thanks so much for the video it’s realistic and detailed 😊💕 New sub here😌
Chosen Warrior no it’s not well not in nyc anyway cna can’t do ekg or draw blood and are employed primarily in nursing homes and pct can do cna job but they have more responsibilities and they not only take vitals, they draw blood, give ekg and can remove IV they have a bigger scope of practice basically and hospitals here pretty much take pct over lpn (cheaper to pay) so now here we see lpn in nursing homes supervising cna’s in partnership with a RN. Hospital care team typically Physican, RN, PCT
Thank you for showing your job routine. I work from 11-7 Monday through Friday and believe me I would love to work 3 days a week. I've encountered my share of disrespectful residents and family members you did the right thing. And I've gain my share of pounds too throughout the years 😆
Lol they get crazy sometimes, but we still gotta be professional. That Monday thru Friday is not for me. It's hard going to work so many days. Hopefully you can find a 12 hr job.
Aw thanks for creating this video to give us an inside look of the job! I’m thinking about going down the path as a PCT as well. What was the hardest part about the job to learn or overcome?
Nae T I'm glad you like it :). And I think it was a challenge for me initially dealing with body functions... cleaning someone else's poop (esp spoiled patients') was not something I thought I was capable of lol but I learned that it really comes down to taking care of people that cannot do it for themselves. I feel I've matured in that sense overtime. I also see the difference I can make in other people's lives.
Currently working as a CNA in Long-Term Care Nursing Home. I will be transferring over to a hospital as a PCT what should I expect? Working in TCU and Med Surg 10 - Post Surgical
Hi! I think this video will help you with transitioning to the hospital th-cam.com/video/G8zn1WiZuUo/w-d-xo.html. It's just some tips and advice on working at the hospital. But it's a lot of multitasking and helping people to the bathroom because they just had surgery. You'll probably be doing a lot of vital signs and emptying drains and Foley's. Also turning patients every two hours who cannot move on their own. I think it'll be a nice change from the nursing home and you'll learn a lot. You can watch my other PCT videos for more info.
Does anyone know if those wipes she showed dry people's skin out? Everytime I've visited someone at the hospital or SNF they always complain of dry skin
Hi Ronika! I wear Dickies and I've had them for 4 years. They still look good. I've worn sketchers and currently have Nike. I just go for the ones with cushion and great foot support.
Hi Kay, Currently am working in an assisting living facility in NYC ; however, am moving cross state and I would like to get a PCA job in a hospital ,but am 59 years old would be 60 years soon do you think they would hire me in the hospital or is it better I stay at another assisting living facility, also am working on my Prequisite for LPN. Thk you❤️
I think they are so short in the hospital now, so if you apply, you never know what may happen. I will say though that working in the hospital can be very tiring. The workload can be a lot when it comes to patient care. If the ALF is not that bad, it may be easier for you as an older person to stay there. I know people in their 50's that tell me working in the hospital is really hard for them. It's up to you though.
@@biggyjudejourney1304 Basically you just make sure you take the trash out in each patient's room, do vitals, pass out fresh water, finish up morning baths, and finish your charting. Then give report to the next person coming in.
My name is Charles I was looking into becoming a pct or pca I know you get trained on everything but is charting difficult and report I don't mean to sound like a doof but I just wondered
That's great. Congrats! :). As a CNA working in a nursing home, you don't do EKG's, but in the hospital setting you do. So, it all depends on the environment.
I think u show more then anybody on TH-cam and I’m a PCT in Pre surgery and it’s exactly how u show it. Keep it up I absolutely luv your videos
Wow thank you so much, that's a huge compliment! Thanks for watching and I'll definitely keep making quality videos 😊
Wow!!! this is an amazing video. You gotta keep making them. It’s rare to see someone show their journey and behind the scenes. Great job beautiful!!
thanks :)
Perfect video. I was just hired as a float CNA on night shift. I’m in my nursing school and I’m sure the hands on experience will help

Do you live on your own?
Can you do a video on how to money manage as a student living on your own and going to school?
Yes, I do. That's a great topic idea. Thank you!
I'm a newbie (PCT) can you make a video of how you got started and how to find a job
Congrats!! And yes, I'll make one on this topic very soon! That's actually a really great topic!👍🏾

What the name of that outkast song in the video I like it
Hey Tiffany,
the song is called "The Whole World." I love it too 😊
How long did you stay a floater? The good thing about the floater you get experience in different area.
Almost 5 years and I agree. You get tons of experience in different areas
❤️
How much is the hour you are making?
Hello, I talk about it in this video
th-cam.com/video/MlXLZ0_TRFE/w-d-xo.html
You’re so beautiful 🥰
I start cna classes in January I'm so excited about it too... do cnas deal with ekg?
That's great. Congrats! :). As a CNA working in a nursing home, you don't do EKG's, but in the hospital setting you do. So, it all depends on the environment.
I love cetaphil 😎
❤️❤️❤️💜💜💜
How would I become a PCT?
Hey Lachlan,
I put the link in the description box. You can also click here:
th-cam.com/video/VwczszfCs9Y/w-d-xo.html
Hey what is the PCT to patient Ratio?
Jennifer Mitchell we usually have 10 patients per PCT, and 15 when we're short or someone calls out.
KayThePA Ok thank you 🙏
How do I become a pct?
You can get your CNA license. I used my EMT license. So, either would be okay.
@@KayThePA then the job gives you pct certificate when you start?
Do you work with a partner with the same rooms or you all by yourself??
I have those rooms and the nurse for those rooms are suppose to help me.
KayThePA do they help?
@@d.joseph98 yeah, but some more willingly than others. It's their patient. So they're ultimately responsible.
KayThePA well I just finished my interview. Just have to wait for a week to get an email from them. But I think I did pretty well.
@@d.joseph98That's great! Let me know how it goes 🙂
CNAs a good job but you didn't show what you do as a pct
I am a PCT and this is what I do. CNAs can be PCT too.
