Hello, I just currently got a new job as a Cna. It's not bad yet but my ultimate goal is to be a primary pediatric nurse. Anyways I don't wanna stay a cna for more than a year I am in school to become a medical assistant but after thinking about it. I don't know if I wanna go to college for that and be thousands of dollars in debt only to make probably 3 dollars more than what I'm making now. I was thinking about going to a vocational school that offers a medical assistant program for like 4,000 dollars pay for it complete it then start going for nursing. However alot of the schools aren't accredited but I was thinking if I pass my exam and get certified will I be able to get a job at a hospital, nursing home or doctor's office as a medical assistant even though I went to a school that's not accredited.
