Ok so I need some advice. Let me explain my situation. I am currently enrolled at my community college with intentions to apply to an MA program, however me and my fiance are wanting to live together. He lives in one state I live in another, now I have researched the college nursing program requirements for the school I want to attend. I know that in getting a Medical Assisting degree, I wont have as many oportunities as I would nursing. I am currently enrolled to do summer courses at my college and I have almost all pre reqs and general education courses complete to transfer to the other school. The exception is microbiology, chemistry and life span development. My question is would it be wise to stay and complete my MA degree in the state I live or would I benefit more to transfer and get my ADN then bachelors for nursing , which is my ultimate goal. I only need 1 or 2 semesters to enter into a nursing program. I am not knocking Medical Assisting but I am thinking of job opportunities and I plan to go for nursing anyway if I did earn my MA degree. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
