Fraudulent Misrepresentation/Contract Law?

We Answered:

Very interesting. Do not listen to any answers on this, unless they are attorneys. It might be wise to wait until the police complete their investigation and there is some ruling on it. If this guy goes to jail, it could help your case, and also the police are spending the government money to make discoveries, not you.. Find out what the statute of limitations is on reversing the judgment. The judge ruled against you because a written contract always over rules an oral agreement.

medical assistant schooling costs..how much is too much?

We Answered:

May I ask y you dont want to be a LPN or RN?
I agree with the other people I know many people who work as MA with no job. I also think that is too much money to go to a school and obtain no degree. I have heard similar speeches from fellow friends who have went down this path but I don't reccommend it. I tell you why:
I would at least encourage you to get your LPN instead or even your CNA.

1.LPN school might be cheaper or shorter length of time.
Definately more money working as an LPN.
2. You can use your nursing license anywhere in US to get a job.
3. You can find work probably almost immediately as a LPN, working any shift you want and work overtime.
4. You can work at agencies making your own schedule or at a facility, dr. office.
5.After you get your MA and work around other healthcare providers u will soon realize y u should get ur LPN or RN.
6.Do a simple job search on the internet on careerbuilder or any job board and look at the number of jobs available to lpn/rn in comaprison to MA. And you will see why the nurse is a better route in the long term especially if you have a child. .
