Re: Can someone guide me?

Since you are still young, I would suggest becoming a CNA, to see if you really like being in the medical field. Then move on to LPN or RN, just read some of the stories about recent grads here, or ppl. that have been out for a while. The supply of MA's is full, unfortunately the demand is few and far between...

Your Professional Title/Credentials: CMA/CPT
