I am trying to get my PCT so that I can get my foot in the door in the healthcare industry. I have searched endlessly online, and have only come up with a few PCT programs around Atlanta. Medix and Everest are around 13k, and that just seems outrageous. I talked to my boyfriends dad, a PCT, who said he would never pay that much and that it should only be around 2k total.
I am starting a CNA program today at Covenant CNA in Atlanta. They offer a CNA-PCT bridge class, but I'm not convinced this school is that great. It's a hole-in-the-wall school based in an old office building. From what I've heard, a PCT should combine CNA/PCT, Plem, EKG, CPR, and maybe even first aid. The one at Covenant doesn't cover EKG or first aid, according to the website. That and none of the exams are based in the price, so I'm looking around 2.5k total, which I suppose isn't that bad.
I just want to know if there are other options that I'm not finding? Or if 13k is actually reasonable for what I get. ANY help is appreciated!
