Hello, I am a mother with 3 kids under 3 who is determined to go to school in the medical field. What I really want is to become an RN. unfortunately, I need to complete some prerequisites before I can even apply to become an RN. I was thinking about LPN and when I went to talk to the advisor, she had tried getting me to go into the PCT program. I've actually never heard of it before today and now I'm just completely confused. I have done some research and it seems as though the LPN program is extremely difficult and time consuming. Still, I'm up for that challenge and it's what I want to do. Before today, my plan was to enroll at Salter to become an LPN, find a job, and then take my prerequisites for my RN at NHTI. I would have to take my prerequisites online to be an RN through NHTI so I wasn't sure if I should start that now? I guess, my questions are: 1) Should I go for LPN or PCT? 2) Should I take the general classes online to eventually become an RN while I take one of the LPN/PCT classes? Thank you for your help in advance :)
