You may want to look into a Medical Assistant program if they are offered in your area. Based on what you've listed as your interests, it seems you can save yourself time and money by pursuing medical assisting instead of nursing at this stage. Some states are different in what they will allow a medical assistant to do, so do some research first, but a lot of states allow medical assistants to chart symptoms and record vitals.

I was wondering what would be the best career path for me.
I currently work as a Medical Administrative Assistant in a Radiology Department at a hospital. I would like to be able to work in a doctor's office where I could bring patients to their rooms, take vitals, chart symptoms.:redbeathe Should I just start out with a CNA? I was interested in going to Nursing School, but I am not sure if I want to work in a hopsital setting. I am so confused! I have heard how difficult nursing school can be. I need to work so I was going to take night classes until I got to the Nursing Core Classes. Does anyone know what classes are the hardest? I was thinking if I could get past the biologies I would be good, are the Fundementals of Nursing Courses equally difficult or more difficult then the A&P and Mirco biology? PLEASE HELP!
