Depending on where you were to work, the experience you get may not even be applicable to a future nursing career. Many CMAs in physicians offices only do clerical work or basic nursing tasks such as vitals (and occasionally EKG, phlebotomy, etc.). It may be somewhat worthwhile to consider working as a CMA during school, though.

I currently am a CMA (Just graduated) What I'm wondering if I should work in the field a bit and then go for my LPN degree or just go streight from CMA to LPN. I honestly would rather get school over with and work in the career that I've so dreamed of for so long. I was just wondering what others thought. Any insight would be appreciated.
