Hi there, They lied to you. There are jobs out there, and there are more Medical Assistants out there, than there are jobs. No they are replacing LPN's with MA's. That story has floating for years. There is nothing with being a Medical Assistant, it's a great field to get into. I'm not trying to confuse you, I just wanted to be up front with you. The thing they don't tell you is you'll have to work as twice as hard to get your foot in the door. You must never give up. Merry Christmas.

Thank you for the reply I do appreciate the honesty. I really want to be an RN but I didn't realize the wait would be so long to just get into the program. I think I will continue looking for a CNA job while deciding what route to take. Again thank you for the advice.
