I am so discouraged right now. I have an associate degree in medical assisting and been working for two yrs as a CMA. I went back to school and am now finishing my CNAI. I took the NET and passed but was sent a letter saying only 50 would be accepted and I am an alternate (63). So what now?? I am scared that it is too late to apply other places although I have emailed everywhere in 50 miles of home to see if they have a program I would be able to apply to. If there is such a shortage why do they take on so few students? I passed the NEt and was really suprised that I did, will I have to now wait a year take it again to find out I am again a alternate?? :banghead: I honestly don't know what to do now because I have a lot of the pre-reqs already. I have tried to ask some of the teachers and school counselors what I should do and they suggested to apply at other schools which I am now in process of. Any advice?? I am :cry: . I am going on 37 and do not want to wait years to get this. Should I go into something else in the meantime? What could help me? I love working with patients and I am a hard worker. Not too much shakes me and I will do anything asked of me within my scope of practice. I realllly did want this. Sorry for the long post I guess I needed to get it out. I had clinical today and really could not share it with my class because I wanted to stay positive and not discourage others around me or get myself upset when patients needed me. So thanks for letting me get it out.
