  1. I am a CMA

    mvm2 replied to celeste26's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Umm I don't know if an MA knows everything that an LPN knows. I believe there are major areas that LPNs have to take classes in that MAs do not. One area I think about is meds pharmaceutical. Please...

  2. Can a CMA teach a MA class?

    mvm2 replied to chicsurfs's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  6. CNA from ortho transferring to ICU

    mvm2 replied to MikeDee1234's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Boring or not yes I'd take the job. Remember this will only be a temperary job untill you are an RN. It would be another notch on your belt of departments you have experience in when going for that RN...

  7. I am a CMA

    mvm2 replied to celeste26's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Would you consider going for your RN? I feel that would give you a better diferance in pay with going in debt over student loans. I don't know if I'd find going to school for two years and only a 2...

  22. Is it too late to transfer over??

    mvm2 replied to Jen_Loves_Nursing's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA
