    I quit stripping to be a patient care tech and go to school full time for respiratory therapy. I can’t tell you how amazing it has been switching over. Dancing where I am has changed over night to degeneracy. I have reasons to believe that this is all part of gods plan. Thank you 😊

I’ve been an Executive Assistant for about 20yrs and I’m also a pre-nursing student. However...I have zero experience in the healthcare field so I’m looking to becoming a Patient Care tech to see if I even like being in the hospital (before I spend more money on my nursing degree.) Can I ask, what are your thoughts on an online PCT program that’s nationally not regionally accredited? I’m having a hard time finding a flexible program near me in Massachusetts and found one I could do online. Anyway, really loved this video and I hope you get more subscribers because you’re an absolute doll. Thanks!!! 💙🙂

    I am starting my pct program soon. I hope to get into LPN school when my daughter gets older, rn she is so small and needs my full attention so wish me luck! I have been in love with nursing since I was a little girl

    I am starting a PCT job on Monday after spending 10 years in the housing industry as a property manager and realtor. I am so nervous but your videos are so helpful!
