Hi Everyone! Im new here and need some advice. (Not sure if Im even posting this in the correct forum) I have always been interested in going into the medical field. Im 28, have 2 children and finally ready to take the first step...atleast I think I am:) Im actually not sure exactly where to start or which program I should be going into. Its all so confusing. Do I start out with a CNA cert. and then move on? Go straight into an RN program or become a medical assistant? I dont have a HSD but do have a GED. Is that going to make a difference into what program I can get into? Can you just enter a program or do they pick and choose who they want? Im also afraid Ill go to school for X amount of time and then not be able to find a job. Any bit of advice will help move me in the right direction, it will be great appreciated:) Thank you! Adge
