I just got hired as a pct in the rehab department. I’m so excited I have no license, certification or experience in the hospital. The company will pay for my CPR and BLS certificate. The only experience I have is hospitality and hotel experience. I’m nervous but excited to begin this new chapter!

24 hour urine specimen is what the ice is used for. at my hospital we usally sit the foley in a basen & pour ice on it all night to keep it cold. all shift we have we keep emptying the foley & dump it out in a big orange jug..keeping it cold does something to the protein in the urine i can’t remember. but after 24 hours we take the full jug & walk it to lab 🙃

im shocked that your hospital uses those low tech vitals machines on the regular units that you have to manually chart your vitals later! at my hospital we just take the vitals and they upload to the charting system automatically. i've only seen the older type you use in the ER at my hospital bc typically the patients aren't admitted yet and might not have hospital bracelets so there is no need for newer updated vitals machines in the ER when the vitals would have to be entered manually anyway since those patients don't have bracelets to scan. also im surprised you do pharmacy runs and the supply room stocking. at my hospital we have pharmacy techs and supply chain techs for that. i don't kno how have time to do all that extra stuff as well as take care of your patients and answer all their call lights

We do have pagers. We chart in an area where we can see if a call light is on. Someone in “nurse call” pages us if I light has been on for more than 3 minutes.
