Hello, I know a couple people who went to school as medical assistants. Cannot say they are necessarily in lucrative careers right now. They had to take basic science courses like anatomy and had lab where they drew blood, etc.
My opinion is to just go ahead and get an associate's degree in nursing and at least those credits can be used if you decide to work yourself up to a bachelor's in nursing. You may also want to keep in mind that the field of nursing will face a tremendous shortage in upcoming years due to the number of baby boomers seeking health care. You will be pleasantly surprised to see how much nurses are actually making and hospital recruiters are even offering signing bonuses.
These are very good questions that you can pose to your perspective school's advising department. You may also want to get information on the curriculum at your local community college and university to make an informed decision.

I won't lie to you, it is tough to learn all the medical terminology, and the different systems in the body, the blood, the skeleton, muscles, nerves, and then be able to tupe fast for dictation. and I had a headache every time we had a test, midterms was easier then I thought it would be. if yu get a good school, and a good teacher, you can't go wrong. but my college fired the director and the teacher, and then closed the school down, Ilost my career over their decisions.'
