Just got a job as a PCT in the cardiac unit. I'm so nervous. Does anyone have any tips for me. I work night chift

[@hopedillard8950]

Check you out !!!!!. I started nights last week and it was rough but I’ve been working a lot of OT for patient safety on day shift but I go back to my shift Thursday night . I work on IMCU I love it !!!!

[@NurseAviiiii]

thank you love 💙 it was def hard in the beginning but now I found a schedule to help keep me up during the night so it is hard at first but it will get better , good luck 💕 .

[@hopedillard8950]

Thank you !!!! & yeah it is hard but I think I’ll be fine ♥️

[@NurseAviiiii]

it is , im almost at 6 months on nights and finally adjusted but you got it !

[@hopedillard8950]

Awww. This is my last week of training 😩😩

[@maggiekabongo843]

I’ve watched your MA videos before and I just want to know why did you left MA to do PCA/PCT? I ask because I am interested in both jobs and wanted to know the difference. Also just want to hear your response on what was a better option.

[@NurseAviiiii]

because MAs usually work in clinical settings & atleast I did and i'm now starting nursing school which would be the same times as clinics and I know no clinic would really work with that crazy schedule or hours and I would have stayed an MA but no jobs really for MAs to work nights so as a PCT I can do all that and amazingly at my job I can even do 3 - 11 or 11 - 7 is I don't want to work the full 12 hrs but I will say my cousin is in nursing school too & she's still an MA at an urgent care but she works the weekends but weekends for me is time I need off because I like to travel so its really preference and what matters most to you .

[@HoustonTrendSetter]

I have a question can you work as a pct and get your cna certification at the same time. Or do you need to be certified to work as a pct

[@chantrvll]

@@HoustonTrendSetter you usually need to have your CNA OR be in the process of nursing school :)

[@sheladiity]

🥰If I can get a good set schedule I'll be okay lol they be wanna work ya all different times.

[@NurseAviiiii]

true girl , thats how they treat our travelers they give them whatever but I have been blessed to work the schedule I want with no problems since I started but that holiday schedule is a different story 🤣 .

[@sheladiity]

@@NurseAviiiii That's good u have the schedule u want tho.... And yess lol they be wanting ya to work every holidays. I mostly be wanting the holidays off. Lol

[@NurseAviiiii]

yes girl we required to work 3 holidays like baby I don't want to work any .

[@sheladiity]

@@NurseAviiiii lol right

[@MartVale1]

I’ve heard night shifts can be easier because patients are sleeping sort of less work is that true?

[@NurseAviiiii]

definitely , im on ICU so the patient are intubated so my nights are a breeze but when I was on medsurg 99% of them slept through the night so it was super easy .

[@chantrvll]

@@NurseAviiiii I hope my floor is like this! I just got a job as a night shift pct 😆

[@labellefleur460]

@@chantrvll me too I just got a job today for night chift in the ICU. I'm so nervous and excited at the same time

[@lrcrawford216]

Hey how are you I wanted to know do you have to work a 12 hour shift or you have the option to work an 8 hour

[@NurseAviiiii]

I was working 12 hour shifts but now I work 8 hours .

[@cherryblossom6775]

Hi I’m looking into doing phlebotomy can I also do PCT after being certified, or is it more marketable to employers to have MA certification first?

[@NurseAviiiii]

i'm not too sure if you can become a pct just off being just doing phlebotomy , I have another video on the steps of becoming a pct and requirements and I honestly can't say if that will qualify as direct patient care which was one of the requirements to become a pct for me but every place maybe different and also you don't necessarily have to be an MA before becoming one that's just what I was prior to being a PCT and what got me in with the direct patient care .

[@KT-ts2yl]

How did u like working as a pct?

[@NurseAviiiii]

honestly .. I miss the clinic lol 😂 this is more CNA work and nothing against CNA work and what they do but I did not go to school for this and it feels limiting because I can do so much more in a clincal setting than hospital tbh .

[@king-cw6wh]

I've heard that the weekends make the most money

[@NurseAviiiii]

yes it called a weekend differential so I get that & I work nights which we get differential for that too so I get my base pay plus those 2 😊 .

[@memoaragon248]

@@NurseAviiiii how much does a ptc start rate is????

[@NurseAviiiii]

depends im not too sure , they went off what I was getting paid as a medical assistant then I was getting night & weekend differential .

Your PPE is on backwards

[@NurseAviiiii]

😂 its not ppe but thanks .

[@TMPWarfare]

Yup it is

[@jadehope60]

@@TMPWarfare I’m pretty sure she was wearing the gown as a jacket. I’ve seen nurses do it, it’s basically kinda like a patient gown, my nurses use the disposable gowns sometimes purposely backwards for sweaters but the one they wear for that they don’t use in patients rooms, they grab a new one. I’ve also seen them use the blankets at night

[@NurseAviiiii]

exactly what that was 😂 it was light jackets they used to have for us at night .
