One of my classmates was told by an RN, "aim higher."

It is not appropriate, I love my job, but to all the naysayers I say STFU!

Agree! My father actually will be going in for his 3rd back surgery next Tuesday (just had one 3 weeks ago!, and hes pretty young). He went into a nearby hospital for pre testing yesterday, and one of the CMA's gave him her contact information to give to me. She said try to get into a hospital, plus I think they pay and benefits are great. The only thing for me is that its not super close by and I have no transportation right now so it would be hard for me to get there. It is also downtown. Im praying that it all works out though. Good luck to everyone hoping it will be a good year!

Hello there, Everything happens for a reason. Keep pushing yourself beyond the norm. Everything will fall into place. I've been a NCMA for three years now, and I'm very thankful that I made the right decision to become a Medical Assistant. I will know when the time comes for me to further my education, because like I said everything happens for a reason. Why rush it. Be the best you can be. Learn and grow with all that you learn each day.
