PCT or MA?

Nursing Students CNA/MA

Published

Hi,

I am considering either PCT or MA before I get into the local CC ADN program (I have to eat and pay bills). Is the pay the same? The PCT course is a lot cheaper than the MA courses I have found. I already have an AAS in Business Management so I was thinking an MA Cert might work better for me. I am a male btw (for what its worth).

Your thoughts/comments please.

Thanks and have a blessed day.

The AAS I have is getting me nowhere. I have always had a desire to be in the medical field since my first ER experience about 15 years ago.

OK, I have a new idea. I found a local LTC facility that has an earn while you learn program for CNA. They pay for the Cert. The catch is you have to work rotational and PRN (can you say overtime?) for a year. That will work for me as the MA program is expensive (and really has nothing to do with nursing from what I have gathered on this site) and the PCT at the CC is nearly 2k. And the facility is only 15 mins from the house. I think God has a plan for me.....

Have a blessed day! I am!
