Hey girl, just transfer to the floor. I worked OR for like 2 weeks and was quickly over changing over tables and mopping up bone chips. If you move to like med surg you will be doing vitals, glucose checks etc. The OR is the only department where the pct's are basically janitors.
Thank you for sharing I started working in the OR room at the end of November 2021 I also had a problem with one of their SNA‘s trying to tell me what I was doing wrong when I was doing it right so I checked her and tell her I’m also in SNA so I told her you do your job and I’ll do mines
There is no excuse for anyone to put someone down. Just because they are higher up without you they couldn't do there jobs. I'm glad I watched this video. I'm thinking twice now I have a interview coming up for this position. I consider myself a great pct. So are you.
I worked in the OR as a CNA/PCT and i stayed for a couple months and quickly left. I was OVER doing turn-overs, running labs, mooping & basically cleaning
At my local hospital they have Patient Care Tech 1 and Patient Care Tech 2. For 1 it’s just CNA and for 2 it’s CNA but you also have to be certified in phlebotomy and ekg. They want 2’s to do all the CNA work but also know how to draw blood and run a EKG machine to help out the nurses more.
Girl try getting a transfer to a med surg or medical unit. PCT don’t be mopping no damn floor. If that’s all a PCT can do in the OR then they need to hire Janitors for the OR and not PCT.
That's everything I do as a house keeper except everyone at my job is down to earth and I just got a job there as a pca they actually tacked care of the residents and no one acts like their better than anyone I know what you mean though about working in the hospital I was a dietary aid in a hospital for 15 yrs and people acted like they were better than us that's why I love where I am now because no one acts like that every one works together to take care of the residents.
You could use your CNA license to qualify for PCT positions. They're roles are identical but for my current job i only needed my basic life skills certification
I work in OR as well but I don’t do any of the cleaning also we scrub a patient and get them ready to go into surgery but not cleaning and I start at 11am-7:30pm
Hey! Hate to hear that this is your experience!! Just starting out as a PCT. I really thought that hospital mindset was becoming less prevalent. Hate to hear it’s still alive and well. Do you have any contact with patients? Have you learned anything?
@@miachristina Still hate to hear this! So far I mainly take vitals, adjust Telly’s/02 monitors end of course wipe butt. At my hospital some people are friends but many don’t speak. Glad I’ve Atleast got to see and learn somethings. I pray things have improved on your end ❤️. Thank you again for sharing
Honestly, you’ll have headaches and drama no matter where you go. I work in Medsurg and high risk pregnancy, we do NOT mop floors. Please leave that job
Girl that's everywhere in any job . I haven't work at hospital but I volunteer and the doctor aswell as nurses looked down on me . All I wanted was to see if that was the environment I wanted . I did enjoy my time there and I just didnt pay any attention to the rest . But if you hate it just try a different department. I study for medical office but didnt like is boring and same people act they hot sh** . I am looking to switch careers for something more involved with patients not paper work. But like your video, hope it works out for you.
Lol !! , yea .. I know but the only reason that I took the job was to see if the OR environment was for but it’s not. I’m looking elsewhere and in order to switch departments you have to be there for at least a year. Also, thank you and I hope everything works out for you also ☺️💕

Yea I know which is odd to me but I’m working on it

Yess! i hope the interview went well!
I worked in the OR as a CNA/PCT and i stayed for a couple months and quickly left. I was OVER doing turn-overs, running labs, mooping & basically cleaning
Lol, yess. I felt the same way
pct i think is a easy job,specially on a slow day...lots of sitting down.thats what i do,but ours called ORA not pct.
At my local hospital they have Patient Care Tech 1 and Patient Care Tech 2. For 1 it’s just CNA and for 2 it’s CNA but you also have to be certified in phlebotomy and ekg. They want 2’s to do all the CNA work but also know how to draw blood and run a EKG machine to help out the nurses more.
Oh woww. Thats cool. At the hospital i worked at we were all the same level but we had to go through the hospital to get certified in phlebotomy
No but wait who is the little girl at the end🤣🤣🤣🤣 cause baby lil mama had me cracking up🤣🤣🤣
LOL !! , she went viral a couple years ago and thought she was funny 😭😭😭
You lost me at mopping!! Great video :)
PCT's do that???
LOL ! , I didnt know the specifics prior to the job 😭😭😭but thank you

See, you’re lucky .. that’s the type of environment I like
Find the mother/baby unit and work there. Probably one of the easiest units. Housekeeping do all of the cleaning btw lol atleast they do here 🥴
Yeaa. Its the same at my hospital. Its always hard trying to get on the mother baby unit since the openings are usually slim.
@@miachristina lol literally everybody was saying that when they found out I got in 😭
@@turnerlkhs Lol ! , girl yesss .. you're one of the lucky ones 😭😭😭
I’m on the mother baby unit and hate it I’m still on orientation I’m trying to figure out how to tell them it’s not for me it’s tooooo much
@@juicymilan22how is it going ? Are you still there ?
don't take abuse from a nurse and doctor.... Document things in a email... stay strong
Thank you and i will ☺️💕
I hope your doing well, I’m going to work in Sterilizing.
I am. Thank you for asking! I hope you're doing well also! 🥰🥰
no lie... mop buckets????? what state you do work in?? never knew a PCT had to mop....
Yeaa me eitherrr but i work in Florida
Great content!! Keep it up 👍
lol , thanks
Don’t let it stop you from being a nurse it’s not like this everywhere
Awee. Thank you 💕
Question...would you have surgery where you work? If you didnt know anyone, of course...
lol! it depends on the doctor
Hey are you able to work any overtime? As a PCT?
I have not worked overtime but i'm pretty sure you can
For schooling it it just a CNA program and then you qualify for PCT. I’m having a hard time finding just PCT programs in Indiana
You could use your CNA license to qualify for PCT positions. They're roles are identical but for my current job i only needed my basic life skills certification
I work in OR as well but I don’t do any of the cleaning also we scrub a patient and get them ready to go into surgery but not cleaning and I start at 11am-7:30pm
Oh wow! i wish it was like that for me!
I'll be starting soon.. I hope my experience will be like yours
What city you got in?
Jacksonville
Hey!
Hate to hear that this is your experience!! Just starting out as a PCT. I really thought that hospital mindset was becoming less prevalent. Hate to hear it’s still alive and well. Do you have any contact with patients? Have you learned anything?
I have zero contact with patients and tbh I haven’t really learned anything new besides cleaning rooms

Lol ! , I am .. I’ve tried medsurg and it wasn’t my favorite
Do you ever get to see surgery take place?
yea. I’ve seen a few from looking through the windows.
