Have you ever showed up to an exam but just so happened to forget your #2 pencil, which was just another affirmation as to how unprepared you are to take that dreaded test? Yea, same. Trying to enter the medical field and work in a hospital can provoke that exact same feeling when you have no experience, and quite frankly, you have no clue where to begin.
Luckily, we have your back. As a Patient Care Technician (Includes being certified in Phlebotomy, EKG, and as a CNA), you are afforded the opportunity of working in a hospital with no prior experience. Often times, students working towards their degree will opt for this option to gain field experience simultaneously. Another benefit is hospitals commonly assist in financing your educational endeavors.
Last but not least, PCT’s are viewed as the backbone of patient care throughout the hospital. Basically, you’re pretty friggin important!
If we didn’t just provide you with every possible reason for you to become certified, I clearly am being over paid for this blog post.
Hope to see you soon!
