Just wondering where all the Medical Assistants are at? How are you guys doing in your career? Do you have jobs? Are you certified? Just checkin in with the MAs...As for me I graduated in 2010 and I just became nationallly certified, but haven't found a job. Hopefully I move soon to San Francisco because I have noticed more MAs are in need there..
So yeah! Just kind of like a MA Check IN. I also wanted to know how many MAs want to become a nurse like me and have you began your journey?
MA...MA student doesn't matter:) Everytime I come to this board it's full of CNAs, so I just was wondering where are all my MAs!!! lol But yeah I responded on your post you posted earlier. And I see you're from the bay area we have that in common too!! :)
MA here! 20 years experience and I have been working on and off on my prereqs for nursing school for that long! Almost done and really nervous about the competive nature of nursing school entrance. Being an MA is great but after awhile you feel you need something more to challenge you.

Thanks for joining! Yeah I know what your talking about..I have been a MA for 20 years but I have wanted to be a nurse long before a MA ...it's not challenging enough for me...So I am also taking my prerequisites for nursing. Good Luck and nice to hear from you!
Im an MA! I graduated in July 2010...then got my job at an OB/GYN in August 2010...been there ever since. Just yesterday i was accepted into Nursing School to do my BSN in 2yrs (Pre-req's done) so im still on cloud 9! Super excited!
I actually just finished a CNA program and will state test for that next week, but I start in an MA program this fall when my kids go back to school LOL

Sounds good! I wish you the best, if there's anything you want to ask me about being a MA or any questions you have I will try to answer it to the best of my ability. Good Luck in the MA program!

Hi CMAtoRN: I am interested in about being a MA. I have a few questions:
a) What were your classes like?
b) What is the average pay for a MA?
c) What is a typical day like for you?
I hope this isn't too much. I am currently a teacher but I have always wanted to work in the medical and eventually be a nurse. However, I cannot completely stop working and go to nursing school full time at this time since I have a 1 year old. I would like to get my foot wet in the medical field to see how its for me. Anyway, thanks for the info!
I'm nationally registered and have a job in Utah for a Derm. office. I am trying to finish up my pre-requisites for Nursing also, hoping and and praying to get in next Spring.
