Pros and Cons of Patient Care Technician for hemodialysis 

You’re pretty spot on with your pros and cons! I’ve been doing this for over 18yrs. I’ve been working acutes now for over 4 years and Im the only tech on the floor, it’s run by RNs. I love my nurses because they appreciate me so much, it really makes me feel appreciated! In the chronic clinics, I feel like techs against techs is STRONG, it’s not like that in acute.

I'm about to start as a registered nurse in a clinic and you have made me want to know how to open, close, what needs to be stocked, etc. I want to be the type of person who knows how to do everything just in case anyone needs help haha

ur so pretty and a fascinatedly trust worthy speaker if that makes any sense lol, subscribeddddd

I’m so happy I found your channel, I’ve watched a lot of the other PCT content on RU-vid because I like to do extensive research before I do something. I have my interview tomorrow so I’m excited. 😊

Current CCHT here of 5 years and I agree 100% girl!!!!

Enjoying your videos. As a nurse thinking about looking into dialysis but the pay seems very low for nurses compared to what I’m doing. I just applied though to Davita so waiting to hear back.

I am glad you spoke on pay. What kind of benefits is Fresenius offer? I was interview by them, I am wondering.

It depends on what state you live in according to the pay. NYC and New Jersey pay well.

Yes got hired with Davita and I’m having an eerie feeling point blank… it’s like I already know I ain’t tryna get up early!

Good morning sis.Hope you dont mind me calling you that. Im a PCA.Iwent back to school to be a CNA in 2020. And completed a course as an Administrative Medical Front Office Assistant 2021. Both at Health Tech of Ga. I honestly need to brush up on my typing and computer skills. I saw the information for DaVita the other day. I'm 53 years young. this job seems to be really hard. I've never stuck anyone with a needle. I thought about learning how to do this. its very intense like you said. I enjoy people, especially the elderly. I used to be a hospice cna a long time ago. Thanks for expelling pros and cons. My mind says yes I want to learn how to do this but I don't know lol. I don't want to think its too hard for me. if it requires heavy repetition of lifting, I. can't do it. Anyway God bless your and your family and work family to stay strong mentally and physically in Jesus' name. The joy of the Lord is your strength. You and your bay partner do a great job. Love you hunny.

I enjoyed watching your video! I recently got hired as a hemodialysis tech at Fresenius and I am scared because I am pregnant. I feel like they are going to fire me. Hopefully everything goes well. My first day is march 7!

Yea as a medication aide I make 21.79 but Fresenius wants to pay me 18 I get I’m new to dialysis but I’ve been working in healthcare for 10 years I hope I get the job but I’m staying at my current job

Thank You so much! Just started 3 weeks ago as PCT and trying to determine if it's what I want to do! Since you're so good at responding to questions, lol. I was wondering if you've heard of anyone working 4 10hr shifts? I'm hoping they'll work with me on that after my training. I don't have the stamina or mental power to work the 12-15 hours shifts. Also, how long have you been a PCT? Thank You again!😊

So glad I found your chanel. Can you choose your own schedule? Cause I will be going to school from 8am to 12

Hey, I just got interviewed by Fresenius for pct. I have my pct certificate from a school I went to, do I have to be state certified ex: NHA certified to get hired? Please reply

I just got a job offer as a PCT and im terrified.. ive always struggled with classwork/testing so the idea of taking a certification exam has me so scared and intimidated.. Can you give me some tips/info to make it a little easier?

Is frensenius paying for your school? And what did you wear on your first day to training should I wear professional since I’m in the classroom setting or scrubs?

Can you wear short nails? Do they hire you without the ccht and you could work it during or you have to have it to work ?

Would u do pct over being a cna?

How much is per diem pct at a hospital or atleast starting pay

what shoes do you recommend? i start soon :)

can you pls tell me the study material s?

Do you get overtime plus bonuses?

do you suggest someone hard of hearing do pct work ?

How much do you get paid as a patient care tech?

My brother recently died from kidneys failure

If you mention the name and the good things about your company, they need to pay you advertising fees or just work as a recruiter.

I’m trying to get into Davita. I’m in Florida. I’m not PCT or CNA certified. I have done home health aid many years ago in another state. I have worked customer service/support for various healthcare or health care related call centers for several years.

I wonder if I could do this part time

How many days a week do PTC WORK a week

Are you still working in dialysis?

What is the training paid hour

Im into my 2nd week 😭

They have night shifts too don’t they

Stank feet pretty young lady lol appreciate u just messing with you
