Little Older, Much Wiser asked:


I currently live in NYC and I want to move to Massachusetts. I already completed a medical assisting program and I was also thinking about doing a CNA program as well so I can have a job in both fields. I also wanted to do this because in massachusetts they are in need of a lot of CNA’s as well. So I wanted to know, do you think this is a good idea or should I just stick with medical assisting and don’t do the CNA. What do you think?

Rae asked:


I’m looking for a new part time job before I start school back up in the fall.
I need a job that pays decent for now so that I can afford the schooling because I would like to become a pediatrician.
I was thinking of taking a short training course for either a CNA position or a Medical billing specialist. I am not looking for this to be my long term career, but need help deciding as to which will pay more money in the long run? I live in Boston, Massachusetts…if that helps.
Thanks a lot !

chillihotdog asked:

I want to work part time. I’ve been in the US for 13 months now and have only volunteered in a hospital in massachusetts. I don’t have work experience in the US besides that. I don’t have experience as a cashier or waitress. Is this a problem when I apply for jobs. None of the places I sent in applications have called me. Most of my applications are sent in online so I don’t even have any follow up contacts. Is follow up important for even part time jobs like waitressing?
I am a alien resident so yes, I can legally work in the US.

Speak asked:

I was thinking of becoming an LPN. I was wondering, is it really hard to find a job (I’m thinking of in the Massachusetts area) in a nursing home? How is the pay? Is it worth it to go on and get an RN
