Can nursing students work as nurses aides without being certified?
Q. I'm hopefully starting nursing school this fall, but I haven't had any nurses aid training. Will I be able to get a job as a nurses aide or do I have to be certified? I live in Ohio if that helps. I don't know if the state laws are different.

A. Some hospitals allow you to get hired on as an Patient Care Tech (PCT) after a certain amount of Nursing School. (It all very from hospital to hospital. Alot of times its after you have finished your pre regs and have started the Nursing class.) I am in my second year of my RN and I work in the ER and we have a few that went that route, I was already an EMT so I didnt need any time as a Nursing studant. As a PCT I do everything the nurses dont want to do. LOL But I love it, you learn the basics from the nurses and I have learned far more then the rest in my class. I insert Foley Caths, Wound dressing/cleaning, Patient Rounding, Triage Pts at front desk, EKG's, Lab draws, monitor tech, lab ordering, and so much more. I would suggest it to… [cont.]

Getting a nursing degree in the state I live then moving out of state for a job. How does this work?
Q. I am from Florida and want to get a nursing degree in Florida. Then I want to get a job in Colorado. Must I retake the medical exame in Colorado even though I will have passed the exam in Florida. I am thinking baesd on remembering being told this. Thats The nursing exam differs from state to state or the rukes in the medical field are different in other other stats. Some states may have the same rules. If anyone can help me out I would appriciate this. Someone who has done what I am trying to do would be best to answer my questions if possible.

A. You didn't mention whether you were taking the LPN or RN course work. Colorado has a different application for each. Once you pass the state nursing board and get licensed in FL, you can be endorsed as an RN to practice in Colorado by filling out an application, and paying the fee. Most states honor nursing boards in other states with reciprocity (thanks to the nursing shortage.) Links for more information on Colorado Nursing Board. Good luck.
