I am currently in school and almost finished with my associate of applied science degree. I will be a registered medical assistant after I complete my clinical extern and take my registry. I have read up on both the lpn and rn and am still not sure where to go next. My medical assistant is almost identical to a lpn except i cannot be IV cert. but we have all the front office experience. I am a single mom trying to get a good career started for my daughter and I and would like a little advice from some nurses who have been in for awhile. Thanks
