Girlfriend, your personality is everything!!! From a 20 yr RN, you will make a great nurse!!!! Blessings!!
Thank you SO MUCH for this!!!!! I really love being happy and spreading that, and sometimes i feel like it drives people crazy 😂 i truly appreciate that 🥰❤️
@@_BriannaNicole_ Be unapologetically you!!!
@@GinaRenaeRNBudgets learning to do that more and more everyday 🥺❤️
You can see her glow and happiness through her mask.
Praying for her to achieve her goals after completing school.
I'm a LPN but the hospital I work at don't have LPN positions, so I got hired as a PCA and unit administrative assistant but with LPN pay. It is super weird but I love my job.
Wow!!! That sounds my dream job. I definitely would want to work the floor and do secretary type work.
First off, yesssss! Girl I love the way you came in praising the Lord!
Enjoyed your vlog. First time viewer and will be sticking around. 😊
Heading into nursing school this fall, I love your personality...so positive, you will be such an amazing nurse! What an inspiration!
Thank you so much!! I appreciate this more than you know :) and good luck, you're going to do GREAT!!!
Hi Girl, I am so impressed with your approach to your day in the ER, really good that you share your experience, and hope you get your desires fulfilled.
Thank you so much! This was definitely one of the hardest shifts I have ever had, but it definitely opened my eyes. I appreciate it!
I love working the ER, you literally never know what’ll walk or roll in through the doors!
You have a great personality, because calling in to see if you could be some help to the hospital on your day off is very rare for most people.
Your personality is infectious, wishing you all the best girl !

Your Videos are so inspiring and encouraging. Just Be careful when Driving and recording keep your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. Keep Sharing, Inspiring, Empowering, and Be Blessed!
😂😂 "We don't wanna break HIPPA. We don't break HIPPA 🎶." I give you kudos for wanting to work in the ER! I'm nervous but I do think it'd exciting because it keeps you on your toes sometimes. And That was the "most convincing", "I'm gonna go to the gym 💀".
Thanks for filming lol love your personality and all around attitude!
I'm going to school for LPN and maybe RN afterwards depending on how much I like it. I know for sure I'm practicing Holistic Herbalism on the side in correlation with this. I know I want to get a job as a PCT because of how needed they are in my area and this video really helped girl! Thank you 😁
Beautiful video ! Now I’m excited to start work in the ED.

@@_BriannaNicole_ I've been beinge watching all of your content. You have such an awesome sprout about ya, and that's so refreshing to see.
Just accepted a job as a Nurse tech. You made me feel like I made the right choice.
How's it going so far?
your personality is great
Thank you so much for this video. I just got interviewed as a PCA. I got 2 offers with different unit Cardiac & Med Surg. I am so nervous to start training, I did nursing for a year many many years ago. I don’t know why I feel so nervous, but your video helped a lot, I calmed myself lol😂any advice to get these nervousness away😅
Congrats, how is it going? I just got hired as a Cardiac PCA
when you showed outside i knew exactly where you were LOL my high school is down the street and we had the opportunity to have an externship at the hospital during senior year. i helped out in the burn clinic for a bit before the program ended. it was a nice experience i enjoyed it a lot. im currently undeclared at umich and im not sure what i want to do for my career so im just searching around HAHA
oh my goodness that is so funny! And I went to Umich as well! (Ann Arbor :) ) GO BLUE!!! I wish my school did externships like that, what a great experience to have! just think about everything that interests you/makes you happy, and you'll be sure to find a major that fits just that :)
@@_BriannaNicole_ yess thank you so much! my highschool was very science and medicine based (it literally has science and medicine in it's name LOL) so our programs were the externship, cna program and dual enrollment. i wish i couldve did all three but all of the externship students switched over to dual enrollment after the externship ended. so many things are interesting idk how people choose one career and stick with it HAHA i'm also attending at the ann arbor campus! small world
Love your vids ❤️ just received my pct offer yesterday. I will be in the med surge unit @ the hospital!!!!!
You're going to love it! med surg is a great starting point to be able to learn different sets of skills, especially if you're working toward a specialty! and thank you so much! I'm so glad that you do :)
How's it going so far?
No way!!! Wayne state my uncle used to work there, that’s awesome.
I just interviewed for a PCT position in the ED and I'm soooo excited. Love your energy and passion for this job.
Let me know how it goes
I'm a certified nurse assistant always work in a nursing home now I work at the hospital but I'm in the housekeeping department the charge nurse at the hospital want me to become a patient care tech I just can't get over the 12 hours
Sometimes I wonder if I can survive ( living cost) being a PCT I'm 49 yrs old finna be 50 October 1, I only have one income now after my fiance passed away in December of last year so it's kind of hard now I was able to make it by my income and by his income he was 74 years old so now I'm in housekeeping like I said the first time but I'm truly thinking about becoming a patient care tech in Montgomery Alabama we make between 15 to $18
@@chichinone7555
I’m sorry for your loss. That’s a tough situation! I love being an aid in the ED. The 12 hours shift go by pretty fast because you are always busy, so it’s not bad. I really like my job a lot and would recommend it! You do a lot more interesting things as an aid in the ED. I don’t know if this is different for every hospital, but I do EKG’s and I draw labs which can be really fun and is an addition of more interesting tasks than what you might typically do as a floor aid or a nursing home aid. I can totally understand that it would be hard money wise with your situation. 18 an hour is much better than what I’m getting so hopefully if you become a PCT again you can get that. Wishing you the best!
@@elizbethkieffer6887 thanks so much..... I have a job offer @ Assistant Living, I'm taking it !!!!!!!
Very interesting, good information, thank you for the information
Ahhh thank you for showing this! I am thinking of becoming a PCT so this made me much more confident in my choice
I remember my days as an ER tech
Hey just be mindful of contaminating your phone. I noticed you put the phone on a surface and picked up your phone with the gloves on after cleaning the room. Just something to think about, wipe your phone off during the day or take off gloves first 😇and good luck to u in your journey
thank you! i've been working in hospitals so long, I don't even think about this kind of stuff anymore lmbo definitely will look out next time
Congrats on loving the ED
Thx so much
Thank you for your information
I just came across this channel and I seen the expressway thinking "that looks familiar...?" And then seen your socials-- we're from the same place 🤩🤣
oh my goodness! hey there neighbor!!!! :)
I’m a CNA been working in a nursing home just got a position at a hospital super excited to see if it’s a difference I know in shadowing it was.
How’s it going ?!
@@jocelynquintana4672 so far after being employed for 5 months I love it, I’m now a preceptor
@@jocelynquintana4672 and just started nursing school like 3 weeks ago
Glad I came across your page . Former michigander here 😢 just moved to Alabama. Just got a job at the local E.D ❤ as a MA.
Congrats on the job, Im a student Ma im loving it so far, how long have you been a MA
@japrkia19 I did hospice CNA for 15 years took a year and half off with my last child (covid baby) and came down to Alabama. I love it but it's very diff and limited on what can be done .
Awww, congrats on your baby! if you intrested or want to know more about being a medical assistant i have a book on my channel that was a awsome resource to me and it comes with a guided journal that i love. i just been trying to help spread the word about it, it was a great help to me! And i think its still on sale. Ive learned from the book MA can work in hopsitals too, so you could stay at the hospital, have more opportunites and get paid more. @@monicabradshaw36
You make us, Latinas so proud🌷
love the intro and gospel music, i subscribed off that alone;)
Why is this me! I love the ED like I love the fast paste and not knowing what I’m getting myself into lol
I like that you are enjoying your PCT job. I want to do PCT but in NY every program requires me to have a CNA certificate, which I think it is a waste of my time.
My trade school is renewing certification for ACCES to pay for the medical assistant program, so I’m going for Nurse Aide Advanced/PCT. I’m in NYC, and yes, you have to get your CNA certification first. My school’s New Age Training. I’d just go for CNA, and see if they can train you to be a PCT as well. My program is 10 weeks; 5 weeks per subject.
My goodness what a beautiful lady
Beautiful! New subscriber
Thank you love!!!! and welcome to my family :)
Girl that was my sonnnng ❤I love my gospel
Beautiful😍😍😍
Thank you!
do you have to do check and change in the emergency room ?
Is patient care tech the same as cna?
🥰😍🥰😍
I had my interview and a recruiter called me today now I have to wait for the senior recruiter to call , is that a good thing
So what is the difference between a Certified Patient Care Technician/Assistant CPCT and a basic CNA?
I didn’t realize PCT do vitals and bathing etc I thought as a tech that it was just paperwork type stuff. I see jobs for this on indeed that don’t ask for certifications. But I don’t see how I don’t need a cert for the task that a PCT does.
Do you work for a agency ? If so which one ?
Greetings, I'm wondering if a PCT that works in the ER is considered an ER tech or is that only for those that have an EMT certification?
I will be new to this no experience in health care , I have been an care giver before that’s it
Have you ever considered medical assistant? its an awsome entry level heathcare profession with lots of opportunites for advancements
Are you a CNA and are you still going to LPN or RN training or are you completed now? Reason for asking, I applied for a PT Care ED TECH, and I had let my CNA go many years ago so about to challenge that test however now they are asking for the candidate to be EMT trained, I have about a month before I go back to work full time so Im wondering which way to go. I can study for either, this will take about the same amount of time since one is done completely online and the other, (CNA) challange is a patchwork of passing the knowlege test for 20 buck...lol right and then taking the challenge skills test for 70 but all this takes time..about 5 weeks. The EMT could realistically be done in the same amount of time for 3000.00....any advice?
Dreams no dey finish
Hi, can a Medical Assistant be a PCT
Hey girly I definitely want to get my foot in the door to work at a hospital or as CNA somewhere else besides long term such as a clinic I do struggle with anxiety i have ups and down I am a caregiver at the moment and work 1 on 1 with clients I haven't been in a working setting with multiple people in about 2 years thats what I struggle with and have some fear in it. Any tips for this situation??
We’re in the same boat
Love the music to your intro what is that song?? Thank you!!!
Thank you love! It's called "Space and Time" by Mya :)
@@_BriannaNicole_ Thank You !!
Is working in the ER overwhelming?
WSU alum right here Class of 2010
Is there alot of paperwork
You’re lucky your job let’s you float to the ER. They keep me on med surg 😩
Luckily, the position i found out of nowhere was for a float pct position! You should see if your hospital offers that position and apply! I love it lol
What song was that in the beginning u was jamming
Are these hospitals private or government owned
Do you need any certificate or license for this ?
What's the name of the song?
Your Personality is oo Beautiful and lit, and I love how you love JESUS and gospel music! FellowJESUS lover here, you rock.
Hey ! Where did you get your scrubs?
I was wondering the same
I wish i could do one of these at the hospital I work at but they'd probably try to fire me lbs
You can always ask. As long as you don’t break HIPPA and expose anything having to do with patients, you should be okay
Becoming Brianna I wish that was the case. But northwestern is really private and sends us do’s and don’t’s as far as pictures and video. The most you can get away with is maybe a picture at the nurses station lol😂
Can a CNA apply for patient care tech jobs? I want to go to school but the only thing that fits my schedule is a CNA class. Plus, I am having a hard time finding a local Patient care tech program. So I was thinking of taking the CNA. What is your advice? thank you!
That's how I started!!!! My first position was a CNA position, and I literally only worked that job for a month before I just applied to PCT positions to see if it would work...and it did! They're pretty much the same, except pcts do phlebotomy, and other skills, but the job I got gave us training for those to learn! if you get your CNA certification, definitely still apply for pct jobs. I'm sure there are hospitals in your area that will offer on the job training as well!
Hi I became a CNA this summer & got hired as a PCT at the largest hospital in south Arizona so I’m sure you can do it too! What helped me was having a good customer service resume & apply to alll applications even if you’re feeling discouraged. A lot of times hospitals have PCT training programs too :3
Hi a CNA license counts as PCT training and experience in a hospital. Go ahead and apply for the PCT position in the hospital.
Girl your weight is fine, your body is goal. I wish I was thick and curvy like you😍🙌🏾. But whatever makes you happy, just dont lose too much
i'm gonna try not to! it's this tummy i'm tryna get rid of the most lol but i appreciate this girl!
Everyone should strive to eat better & take care of themselves, regardless of their body weight/size.
She really wants to cry even though she's smiling.
Question? Does some schools accept fafsa or self pay ? For nursing schools
Check with the schools you’re considering. If you’re a part of a union, they may pay for school too; it depends on which union you’re in, and how long you’ve been working too.
Were you always positive like this?
Honestly I have tried to be pretty much my whole life! I don't like negativity, love to be happy, and love to make others happy. There were some dark/sad times in my life, but I have a great support system, prayed my way through them, and got to a point where i realized life is too short to be anything but happy! it's definitely changed my whole outlook on life :)
Very interesting video. I’ve always assumed nurses probably deal with a lot of catiness being that it’s mostly women. Is this true?
I haven't experienced it so far, because I go to work, mind my business, and focus on me and my patients lol I don't get involved with any workplace drama, but I have experienced rude nurses at times. I don't let it get to me, and sometimes I have to tell them about themselves lol I might be nice, but I don't play that lmbo
In my experience ER nurses are mature, secure in their own skin, reliable, independent, down to earth and usually loads of fun. I've found them to be the least b!tchy of all nurses I've worked with. I love the ER!!!
omg dmc sister which one u work at?
Hey! i love your channel, I have a question I am currently a Registered Medical Assistant and also have 4 years of phlebotomy experience however I don't see myself expanding in that field so I decided to go back to school in March to be a PCT! do you think that is a good move or I should've done CNA courses? I am not readying for full NURSING field I've tried multiple times with taking exams and FAILED!! So I want to take my time.
hi love have you ever considered medical Assisting?
i wish i had your energy.
thank you so much!!! i don't know how or where i got it from lol Just grateful to see life :)
@@_BriannaNicole_ that's completely understandable. you are just amazing.
@@_BriannaNicole_ your very welcome, I wish i was you
Wow CNA does the same thing..
yup
i’m an ER tech & i do the same things as an CNA except wipe butts 😊
Can cna work in the ER
The answer to this question depends on the specific hospital. Some do & some don't. Just check with them & see
I can always see it you like 👍 so much
I’m not a people’s person so nursing would not be good for me? Any nursing jobs where I can work behind the scenes? Nursing is good money and I’m book smart.
Have you ever considered Medical Assistant?
your edges tell the whole story lol you was working hard girl!
Girl i was a whole entire mess this day, there was no hiding them 😂 working toooooo hard 🤣
😂have you been to Sinai Grace ED..
Girl YES! And i told myself i would never work there permanently 🤣🤣🤣
