Hi I just recently become an ER Tech and looking to know more as this is my first time in this kinda field so am browsing through found your video am looking to pick up some vital tips so thank you for doing this video
Would you say being a ER tech is easier than nursing home? Because lemme tell ya I was in a nursing home and it was a nightmare constantly short staffed and running non stop.
I wouldn’t necessarily say easier, but I think it’s a HUGEEE break from being in a nursing home. A lot less 💩 for sure! As far as heavy lifting, I feel like in the ER is where you’ll see the most men in terms of nursing, so I just let the EMT guys do the lifting and moving. I just feel like in the ER, you can perform a lot more skills and you don’t have to worry about bathing
@@lrcrawford216 at the beginning of COVID it was said that the molecules can stick to your hair. That’s why many people, especially hospital personnel, started wearing scrub caps. It’s actually very common to see ppl wearing scrub caps for this reason. If you work outside of a hospital, then i guess i could see how you’ve never heard of that.
The hospitals near me require an EMT or CNA certification to work as an ER tech. Do you think the CNA experience will prepare me well for this position?
This is actually my first time hearing about covid being in the hair. 😳 but this was a great video.! Did you get your EMT license to become a ER tech? Do you have to wear your rubber ring or is it just your preference?
Meaaa Brown thank you! I actually had 3 years of CNA experience. I wouldn’t recommend working in te ER if you have no medical experience tho, it can be overwhelming. And I just choose to wear the rubber ring 😊
I haven’t watched your whole video yet but I was wondering if you are officially an ER Tech or a PCT in workin in the ER?? I may apply for PCT ER but I’m not sure what they do exactly. Right now I’m an Entry Control Screener. Any info is greatly appreciated! Thanks for you video!😊👍
As an ER tech does your hospital require you to bag the patients who pass away while in the ER? I applied to an ER tech position and had to withdraw my application after finding out I would also be responsible for bagging the deceased. I personally don’t have the emotional strength for it, and respect everyone who does!
Hi! I’m sorry for responding so late to your comment. The answer is yes, we do bag the patients. I haven’t bagged every patient that I worked on but, you learn that death is a part of life. It happens. That’s with any floor you work on though. Techs help with bagging the patient. However, it happens much more often in the ER
Do you work for an ambulance company as well? Or are you only working as an ER tech?? I currently work for an ambulance company and was planning on becoming an ER tech as well. Any advice on what to look for when applying??
No i just work PRN at the hospital. If there’s a local hospital that you go to all the time and the staff knows you, I’d recommend applying there. And I always like to ask questions about how the staff gets along and help each other. 🤷🏾♀️ hope that helps
@@strongbodystrongmiind yes a PCT and a CNA have the same job description. You need a CNA license to be a PCT. patient care tech are just a fancy name that hospitals gave to their CNA’s
I’m not really sure. You’d have to check with your hospital. I do know most places require CNA license, EMT, or first semester of nursing school to be complete
African women do wash their hair everyday if you don’t that nasty you don’t shampoo everyday put wet it daily the hell I got an issue with black women for that
@@titamerant9827 chile gone get off my channel. You have no clue what you’re talking about and clearly you aren’t black. Actually, NO ONE should wash their hair everyday. Go and educate yourself about black hair and take your ignorance with you.
This so interesting because I am an EMT and I'm working to become an ER Tech, thank you for the insight!!

This was a very informative video! I used to work in the ER as a unit clerk. Watching your video bought back so many memories lol. 😂💗
EMONEY HONEY haha thank you. Glad you enjoyed it 🥰
I’m a UC while in nursing school and will be cross training to be a tech!

@@luxeintravel that covid sticks to your hair

Great video! New subbie
DeAdonai thank you 🥰🥰

Definitely! You want to have some experience before running to the ER

I’m a medical assistant could I qualify for this job ?
What exactly is a ER tech ? Like a patient care technician? Or a CNA ?
Maya L hi yes it’s a CNA/PCT. all the same
@@luxeintravel not the same
@@strongbodystrongmiind yes a PCT and a CNA have the same job description. You need a CNA license to be a PCT. patient care tech are just a fancy name that hospitals gave to their CNA’s
@@luxeintravel i’m referring to EMTs & CNAs. I also didn’t have to have a CNA license to become an EMT
@@strongbodystrongmiind i never said EMTs and CNAs were the same. EMT is totally different
Does Having a Phlebotomy and a EKG tech certificate with experience qualify me to apply as an ER tech cause I really wanna advance myself?
I’m not really sure. You’d have to check with your hospital. I do know most places require CNA license, EMT, or first semester of nursing school to be complete
I see you 😇
