Hello! My name is Savanna and I'm 18 years old. My goal in life is to become an RN and I have no clue where to begin. There is a program in my area where I can either get my CNA or my CMA. I really want to get into the medical field before starting college to get my BSN. However, I'm not sure if I should start out as a CNA or an CMA! My are does not have much need for CNA's, and is more in need of CMA's. However, the CMA program is about a thousand dollars more expensive. I'm fine with paying it if it means that I can get further ahead in my medical career. So please give me your advice and input on where I should start! Thank you!
