You're on the same track I'm on! I currently have my Medical Assistant diploma, though I never actually worked as one. I did use it, however, to volunteer as an MA at a free clinic for people with no insurance and low income. That was very satisfying. I did that for about a year and a half for 3 hours every day from 8-11am, then worked at my "real" job from 12-6:30pm. Then I took night classes to fulfill my pre-req's for the Nursing program. Which is where I'm at now... I should have my acceptance/denial letter in the mail in the next week or two.
