    Well....I'm almost a month in and damn. A&P is wooooooooowza! :wacko: For someone who got his GED and didn't get any sciences...this is a lot to take in all at once and at such a fast pace! But I'm enjoying it. Sometimes it feels like I'm reading english but then it invariably turns into...

    Hi All

    First...Welcome!! (-: As for advice...study, ask questions, but have fun! If you want to work as a medical assistant...that's a separate course. If you want to work in an ER, your EMT cert will help. You'll probably also want a Phlebotomy cert too. Make u more desirable/useable. As for the...

    Contacts or Glasses?

    I wear glasses myself. My vision isn't actually that bad. My prescription is just to sharpen things up, especially at night. I've thought about going to contact lenses so I don't have to carry around both my glasses and sunglasses(non prescription). What keeps me from going to contact lenses is...
