hi, i am a cna. and now i'm thinking about being a medical assistant. I'm not too sure but I'm 75% sure that I don't want to be a cna for the rest of my life. I am a little discouraged because I'm finding that being a cna is not all that it has cracked up to be for me. That's why i'm looking online to see what else I could be doing..OH did I mention that I have my Bachelors Degree in Psychology? Well why the career change? Glad you asked,,,when I graduated from college I couldn't find a job with a BA in psychology, so I did retail. NOW I hear that being in the health care field you are set for life because you will ALWAYS have a J-O-B..So that's another reason why I changed career paths. Can someone help me figure out what I want to do or offer me some kinda advice? I'm suppose to be applying to nursing school at the end of this month, but the more I think about it, the more I don't want to be a nurse. Maybe me workin on the floor as a CNA running back to back on my feet for 12hrs has something to do with. Like I said, I'm not use to this and this is a MAJOR adjustment for me. SO i'm thinking about either becoming a medical assistant so that I can work in a doctors office or a physician assistant. I feel bad because I'm scared I'm just waisting time trying to make my mind up. Do you all know of any cna's that have become medical assistants? thanks
