I’m a housekeeper and they placed me in labor and deliver. I’ve been there for a year now. I got hired as an OR tech and I’m excited.
Because I have helped out, they explained to me about a lot of things and I’m grateful to get started as an OR tech because I know all the nurses there that is my family at Memorial Hermann
Currently in the pre-nursing program for rn thinking about switching to surge tech. Having trouble with Chem already on my 3rd try so Ik it’s gonna be practically impossible to get into the program now and I’ve been feeling like a major failure because of it.
Will probably take the sterile tech certificate class this fall to get certified since it is practically the same as a surge tech just not as much responsibility I guess👀 that way by the time I start the actual classes for the surge program I have the “experience” from the sterile classes and can already be certified in the area and hopefully get a job for sterile to get my foot in the door.
And it made me happy to see u could be a tech in labor and delivery considering labor and deliver and Nicu were my fields of interest for nursing. And then maybe by working in the field as a tech I can really see if nursing is still in range of wanting to go back to retry.
Now this may be a dumb question but could I be able to do traveling with this profession as well? And so sorry for this long comment😂 I needed a quick vent out
hey! I know you can be a traveling tech or sterile tech! just got to do your research on who offering it
Chem is so hard!! I wanna do nursing so bad but the sciences are killing me i gotta take them all over again to get an A across the board

Yes 12 hour shift
I’m night shift as well
Is this in Texas? I feel like I have a family member who works there? but congrats on being a OR TECH!
I’m currently in school pursuing my degree so that I can become a labor & delivery nurse, but I’m thinking of looking for a PCT job in L&D while I’m in school ☺️🙌🏾🩺
that would be a good opportunity for you! you should def do it ❤️ goodluck on your nursing journey
I’m new to the field and I’m discovering labor n delivery tech jobs on here but there’s none listed in dfw..curious what area are you in?
You probably have to be a CST to work in l&d as a tech in the DFW area. A lot of places do not hire PCTs for L&D and instead hire CSTs who can do the same job as a PCT but also scrub for c-sections. You may try looking into mother/baby jobs if you’d also find that interesting. A lot of places will not hire PCTs for L&D but will for postpartum. For post partum, PCTs typically do a lot more baby stuff too, like baths, hearing screens, plus stocking. It’s a fun job.
How were you able to get into this specific unit? I’m a CNA and I work in home health but I’m interested in the hospital setting and this is the unit that I want to work in
since I have previous hospital experience I think it was a stand out for them. Youbwould have to check the job description and see if they require previous hospital experience but I would try working at a hospital starting out as a regular tech and maybe transition to maternity once you got some experience with it
Thank you!!
My local hospital is hiring for a PCT, but it doesn’t say what part of the hospital! When you applied, did you know what floor you were getting to before you applied?
I just did the same. My hospital didn't tell me until my interview. I'm in the ER but the job is phlebotomist
Yes it said it on the application! sometimes if it doesnt tell you the unit your most likely will be floating around different units so I would confirm once you have an interview!
How was your days on training how do it compare to night shift
If your not busy can you assist during delivery?
yes!
How much schooling did you do to get to where you are now? I’m thinking about getting a certificate towards a PCT
I been a CNA for 3 years now … but having that under your belt is good but you don’t necessarily have to have any medical work experience to be a pct
Love your name ❤️
@@makiyabanks so many pct programs in New York require you to have a CNA license.
@@tammerry9496 yeah it’s mandatory.. I hate that, but I decided to accept that.. and I’m starting my journey next month ..
@@tammerry9496I just got hired as a pct I only had ma experience
I'm a CNA how can I get a job like this I always wanted to work in labor and delivery
Ill make a video about it!
@@makiyabanks okay thank you
Where’d you get your scrub cap?
Etsy!
Do you plan on going to nursing school? Thanks for the upload by the way.
yes! hopefully get accepted for the nursing program next semester 🤍
I'm a pct (12 ) hours 3 days on the pcu floor also i float at the hospital I also work nights . Right now we are hiring for OB tech in labor and delivery im thinking about applying for that position .
I used to work PCU! omg how you like it?
Girl it's a lot been doing this a year sometimes you have bad days some you don't. But I can say nights is great a lot of down time, I'm just looking to get more experience in the hospital what is your hours?
@@makiyabankswhen you become a ob tech did your pay stay the same?
My name is Makayla banks and I’m going to school for the same exact jobbb🫶🏾🫶🏾
congrats girl! 🎉🎉
I feel sis I just became a ob technician from pct
Hi I have a question? Do you have to pass Nclex exam too for PCT program ? Plz must reply
There is a written exam and an in person exam. But it is not hard like the NCLEX
@@kaitlinG22 thank you so much dear 🥰
FIRST ‼️🔥🔥
😊👏🏽
How was your shift? Did u enjoy it?
it was good and been going good so far ! definitely love it 🤍
@@makiyabanks that's good to hear.. new subbie 👋.. tfs👑🙏🏾💝
How many patient u assist for the whole 12hours ?
Im not assigned to patients … only the nurses … I am there to help around the unit, help the nurses & watch births on my spare time :)
@@makiyabanks aww that’s nice how you called that position usually the patient care tech they have there patients assigned to them
@@pastaspaghetti5750 well things are different… I am a PCT.. usually I am the only Tech on the whole unit so if the nurses need me to do anything for a patient they would let me know … not the patient
