PTA vs RN ociate degree?
I would think that the PTA might be a little less hard but in reality there both probably pretty similar. I know I'm going for my BSN and the only math I need is college algebra (and most schools have free tutoring for math cles) so I'm sure thats probably all you'll need to know for an RN. The prerequisites are considered college credit and they should be pretty manageable for someone working full time. For both of those cles you'll have to remember that science will be a major part of your cles and you'll have to do clinical's. I know the RN program in my town starts clinics 6 weeks after school starts (and its a 2 year program). And they go to their clinical's twice a week for 12 hours. It will be up to the school what times these are but they are usually all at the same time and no way around it. Also, with these programs you have to make sure you can really work around it because for a 2 year program you should only be able to miss 10 days at the very most (I know here its only 7 days they can miss for 2 years). I know a lot of people who have done it though while working full-time but your life may be put on hold for those 2 years but will be so worth it in the end!
