listen to what kat7ap from texas says about pursuing cna if you want to become a nurse...its a better choice of options. i went on to become a medical assistant and it cux big time, i am stuck in doctor offices and they are not willing to pay you squiggly, and you are stuck there... the md's i have met belittle you and put you down so they can manipulate you into believing you can not do better... and since you are stuck in a doctors office how would you know, whats better ? mc fatter -davie florida offered the course. the school is very proud of this course ( they also have other medical courses)...during ma course they provide you with externship to a clinic.. my advice if you do this arrange for a reputable place to train on your own...otherwise you are stuck with choices the school gives you and they tell you its too bad..if you dont like the choices... when the course is over they are dont with you.. and you still have to pass the certification in order for anyone to consider you employable.... no one hires non-certified medical assisitants... if you choose ma or know anyone tell them to check out ati in fort lauderdale off 62 nd street, their course offers you to pass the rma as part of their program... so you are a registered medical assistant before you leave the course and that makes you much much more employable...than mcfatters course.... ati shows they care more for student...well fare by including this option. after all students do not care whether the teacher or school get credit foer every passing student. students want to get a job.. something you have to look for.. and you should be looking out for yourself.. hope this helps

----------------------------------------------------------- do yourself a really big big big favor if i was to go through the ma program again ...i would find a place that doesnt just get you through their prescribed course ... quick ---but help you pass the exam and help you get a job... once you pass -- these are 2 very important things --- i passed my class high grades, my clinic didnt want to hire anyone and who blames them they get free help from the school ( they just wanted the free help ), the school placement center personel were never at their desk or too busy to return calls and when i graduated it was october which meant if the school let me out in august i could have signed up for exam ..but i missed signing up for the exam til the following year ... mcfatter only cared about the money, as far as the medical assistant courses go... i see courses out there for medical assistants that will actually get you rma registered medical assistant exam before you leave the course. that is where i am going ....in 2009. that shows me that they care abou their students not just the money. the first time i went through this ordeal was through financial aid through florida unemployment office as a dislocated worker from layoffs... so it didnt cost me anything... except still unemployed. no one will hire unless you are certified or registered... and you have to speak a 2nd language... its impossible being unemployed. so this time i am taking money out of my 401k to do this 2nd time ... wish me luck. i am enrolling for the 2nd time in another school to do it right this time... yeahhhh... so my advice and really look into the school before committing....

------------------------------- What state do you live in ? I live in South Florida (Fort lauderdale Metro) I am a Medical assistant. Alot of my friends have gone on to become reg nurse Practioners. They make mega bucks. Go for the CNA , LPN, Nurse Practioner registered.... then enjoy life. I live in South Florida and if you dont know a second language you are skewd. The majority of people who make the most money, have the best opportunities over anyone else, can get finanical assistance , and call their own shots...are persons considered a minority who speak a 2 nd language. if you are not considered a minority ..learn a second language anyways... this will give you better shot at life in general... Hope this helps
