    tiredstudentmom replied to tiredstudentmom's topic in Texas Nursing

  9. Why become a CNA? Be a Medical assistant instead

    tiredstudentmom replied to Faro's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You do present a very valid argument that I had not considered. Some folks don't want to move on or up, but rather stay w/ being an MA for whatever reasons. I do share the same sentiment as you in...

  10. Why become a CNA? Be a Medical assistant instead

    tiredstudentmom replied to Faro's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    tiredstudentmom replied to tiredstudentmom's topic in General Nursing

    tiredstudentmom replied to robert2010's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Medical Assistants, such as myself can be both licensed and unlicensed. Some people learn on the job and others go to school and get to take a national certification or registration exam. They can...

  15. Do you have a back up to Nursing?

    tiredstudentmom replied to pumpkinpatchquilter's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, I'm a Medical Assistant, so if this doesn't work out, then I can always work in a dr's office and do just about anything. I'll still get to take care of patients, get a decent living, and be...
