Your friend is surley better in CNA. :)I'm a Medical Assistant myself. I am a recent graduate and I was trying for months to look for a job . I was hired through my mother's Dr. These schools give you all of these false hopes to make their money. I am trying to get into school now for LVN or RN. Still confused on which career path to take. But now days LVN's are beginning to be pushed out of the hospitals and they are hiring them more for Nursing Homes. In order for a MA to get a good job out here, they must be certified and have at least 1-2 years of job experience.
