Before I had my son, I was taking an accountancy degree, but my real interest was in being a nurse or something similar. At one point, I even took an entrance exam for a nursing college, but even though I passed, did not have funds to enroll. It was particularly interesting to me and now that I am here, I have the option of pursuing this career! There are a lot of school that offers medical assistant training programs especially online, which is better for people like me who is also working full time. Medical assistant careers of any kind will be not only 'better than nothing', but can be a good stepping stone into nursing, although in the end, I might well be satisfied as an assistant. Medical assistant programs are available in many specialized fields, such as Dental, and Occupational Therapy, as well as more technical things such as X-ray technician.

Check out medical-assistant-training-schools.org , they have a homepage with links listing the various specializations, so navigation of the site is easy, getting you to the schools giving the specialization of your choice. Each individual school is then listed, giving information as to the courses offered, as well as a link to the particular school webpage at medical-assistant-training-schools.org - so, it is easy to get the best information possible, all from the one initial website. Well worth looking further into, if, like me, you are interested in getting ahead in the medical field.
