Thank you! This is what I'll do :-)

Thank you so much! I'm thinking that is the best route to go as well. The only things I'm concerned about are getting a job with no experience, and finding something outside of the normal 8-5. The hospitals in my area are hiring a LOT of MAs, and it says experience is preferred, but I'm just worried I'll end up not being able to use my certification

Hi all, I'm know this has probably been asked 100 times but I'm a bit overwhelmed with information and could really use some advice! I spent a summer abroad after I graduated high school and am getting ready to apply for schools/start my career path. My ultimate goal is RN, but that is a good few years away for me. In the meantime I'm wondering if I should get my CNA, CMA, or just do Phlebotomy work? I am highly interested in the more technical side or nursing (shots, medications, blood work, etc.) but at the same time I absolutely love helping people and want to have some real patient care. I need 10-12 hour shifts or a night schedule as well. Ideally I would get my CNA, Phlebotomy, and EKG Tech Cert and be a Patient care technician (seems like a great balance for me) but can't seem to find any jobs in my area for this. I don't want to go through school just to not find a job.. Anything I could get into for a bridge program later on down the road would help too. Anyone that can help I would really appreciate it! Thanks!
