  3. Interview + administered skills test (ER)

    CandAmommy replied to Miss_Piggy.RN's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    What do you mean by still pending? Like you haven't taken your state certification, or you are still awaiting results? That shouldn't matter, that is if you passed. I would just let them know you are...

  4. Start classes on Tuesday :)

    CandAmommy replied to sonomala's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  5. Confused - CNA vs. PCT vs. Medical Assistant?

    CandAmommy replied to WeeMama's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  7. MA to RN

    CandAmommy replied to MQ Edna's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA
