    Patient Care Tech? Phlebotomist?
    I've been taking a courses for a certificate as a Patient Care Technician(P.C.T). Primarily, because I'm working on a nursing degree, and I wanted to get exposure by working in hospitals and such. I've been browsing Careerbuilder, Monster, and Craigslist just to see what my options as a P.C.T would be, and I RARELY see any positions. I see a lot of Medical Assistant Positions. Is this the same thing? I'm so confused.

    Also, I'll be done with my phlebotomy course in a few weeks, and I was wondering where to go from there? I've also looked at positions as a phlebotomist, and they usually require 1 - 3 Years of experience. Hmph!

    Does anyone have ANY advice?
