Thank you so much for in-depth reply! I really appreciate it. I have decided to definitely go for the CNA program then Nurses Tech. I totally agree regarding MAs, there's not enough steady demand for them to reassure me. Plus the fact it takes over 7 months to complete and the cost is a bit steep to me. I contacted NY medical and they are having a discount if you register before Dec 30, the CNA program is a little bit over 900 but they'll bring it down to 540. I'm probably going to register for the nurses tech too since that would be such a huge discount together. Thanks again! PS. EEPP on the bathroom situation. I'll need to bring some kind of disinfectant lol

Hello, I was wondering if anyone took their CNA course? I'm planning to register for January classes and I'm a bit nervous. It was either this school or the Allen school--but Allen school is a bit expensive and they tried to push me into their Medical Assistant course. I'm also planning to take the PCT course they offer. I hope to get some feedback from former students or present ones. Thanks!

Hello everyone! I need some advice as to what I should do. I am planning to take my certification in CNA at New York Medical Career Center (http://www.nymedtraining.com/programs.html) but I am getting conflicting reports regarding this route. I am told that it is better that I become a PCT since CNA get all the dirty jobs and such (I do not mind hard work). All in all, people (Aunt is a RN) keep telling me that CNAs are not a good way to go and it is better to become a PCT. My future plan is to become an RN but I need to be working while I get my degree and I want to get some experience. At the same time, I need to make decent money to pay tuition and such. Can you please tell me the difference between the two? I'd love to hear what your opinions are. Also, at the Career Center (http://www.nymedtraining.com/programs.html) I plan to go to the CNA has a longer training period than PCTs. Why is that?
