Is NHA-CCMA certification as good as RMA or CMA?

I am about halfway through a medical assistant program that will allow me to take the NHA-CCMA certification exam. However it is not accredited for students to take the cma from the aama or the rma exam from amt.
I was looking through some local job listing and they all say RMA or CMA. Up until this point I thought I would be getting a CMA certification from my program. Am I making a huge mistake in completing this program? Please help, I am freaking out!

Are You Still In School? yes

Are You Working? no

The NHA certification is good if you want to get a job outside of the state that you live in. Plus it looks better on your resume.

Your Professional Title/Credentials: CMA

Are You Still In School? No

Are You Working? Not in a Medical Office
