  1. I want to know about medical assisting field

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to dayavincent's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone is totally ignoring her questions and concerns. She did not mention one time that she wanted to become a nurse. Maybe thats not her goal. I know people who want to become MA's or CNA's just...
