Did any of you get into the program and took your prerequisites at a school other than Mercer??? i was mainly wondering if i can still get in if i took them at GPC. thanks in advanced.

i was wondering if you have an ADN and go for your BSN do you still have to do clinical rotations???

I'm just wondering about how long is a CAN course and what does it consist of??? Thanks for your info.

You could always apply for both and go to a CC to do preq's that's are required for both schools while you wait for your acceptance and then transfer the classes to which ever school you go to

How many classes were you taking and how much was each credit hr? And how much did you spend on book and for how many books. Thanks in advanced for the info.

In my opinion if you're not strong in science then you should take 1 at a time. And at my school you can't take 2 at a time if you wanted too. But if and only if you think you can handle it I say go for it

Thanks for all the support.

Thanks. What are typical work/shift hours for CNA's and Techs?

Do techs do IV's?

Thank you all for your info, its very helpful. If any of you are an RN did you find being a CNA or a Tech first helpful for you during clinicals and transtioning to RN status? Does being a CNA make it easier to become an RN and gain the basic nursing skills?

How much did you make and hour as a cna and as a tech, if you don't mind me asking.

Do you know how long I'd have to be a CNA before I can be tech? And thank you for your info.

Hi, I posted something similar to this a few weeks ago, but I came across something that made me confused again. I'm wondering what the difference is between a patient care assistant (PCA), a certified nursing assistant (CNA), a patient care technician (PCT), and a certified medical assistant (CMA) or (MA). I've had people say that they're the same and it depends on location and hospital. So my location is Atlanta, Ga and I've come across a school that has a PCA, PCT, and MA courses and none of the classes are the same for these seperate courses. I'm wondering which pays more and what the difference is if anyone knows. Thanks. P.S....in addition to which pays more which would be best to go for if I want to get basic knowledge and skills for the nursing field. I was hoping to become one of those while I go to school for prerequisits for the RN program. Thanks. Your info is much appreciated.

Thanks for all your info. I really appreciate it.

Thanks for responding, if everything goes well I probally won't need the loans after all
