    MaineEMT2RN replied to APC53's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    So really the only thing the new job offers that you don't have now is that it's closer to home - right? It sounds like the pay rate isn't a significant difference. At the new place you'd have to...

    MaineEMT2RN replied to CaringForLind's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
