Having done both. LVN/LPN all the way. Huge difference between a Assistant and a Nurse. The salary of an LVN is greater and the various arenas of healthcare you can work in as a nurse.
Yes !! Exactly I wish I could of gone straight to RN but my situation was different and happy I went the LVN route to get where I want to be ❤️❤️
Hey For anyone reading this. Get your MA through community college and apply for FAFSA. I did it this way and I don't have loans. I have loans of 22K for my LVN program now but with the money I have been saving up as an MA I will be able to pay it all off once I graduate. Just FYI its a good idea to go this route... Work full time MA and do LVN part time its a little hard but worth the hustle. trust me :)
Thank you for inputing your experience this information is so helpful ❤️
22k for lpn?! Did you go to a university? here in Florida it’s 7k at the local technical school😳
I live in Los Angeles 😭😭😭
@@Chantelmarin girl so do I. Its expensive out here
Yeah I live in Los Ángeles so it’s really expensive 😭😭
I wouldn’t go as far as saying a Medical Assistant does the same thing as an LPN/LVN. 🙈 An LPN provides more extensive patient care like caring for patients on ventilators and tracheotomy tubes. They start IVs, do trach care, execute care plans, charting, insert foleys, pass meds, perform CPR. More responsibilities and education for the LPN. And even more for the RN.
Thank you for this information so much help and better understanding 💕
Not sure what state you live in but I know many states don’t allow any of that stuff for LVN except for charting, CPR and possibly passing meds. RNs can only do IVs and advanced care
@@rosegroshek1218 In Florida and Georgia, there are no restrictions on LPNs starting IVs. I have worked with many LPNs that start IVs.
I have never seen a lPN take care of a patient on a vent. If a pt is on a vent it means they are not stable or require a higher level of care which an LPN is not properly educated to do.
Absolutely agree with you In my state of CA the most invasive procedure that can be done by a LVN is IVs blood draw injections UA, EKG BLS skills
As a medical assistant I make $ 26 a hour ! But I work at Kaiser permanente ! I feel it varies in states but in oregon and washington we get paid very well and the cost of living aint too expensive. I became a MA because eventually I am becoming a PA which is the best route instead to be on a waiting list for a RN program ! I would never work less than in the low 20s a hour !! Is crazy how some clinics and hospital under paid MA ! We do sooo much and we deserve the pay ! The best company to work for is Kaiser !
See, that’s why I was considering doing the MA program because Everyone wants to be a nurse lol I can get experience and finish my prerequisites before applying to nursing school
@@jaquishajohnson9520 yes let's get more color people in our field :) honestly get your ADN then bachelor's in 9 months best of luck girl!
@@robertprieto9628 🥰🥰 Do you recommend me doing the Ma program first or apply to the ADN program??
@@jaquishajohnson9520 if you can afford to not work for the 2 years while you are doing your ADN go for it then graduate as a RN work as a RN and have a hospital pay for your bachelor's which u can get in 9 months on line and at your own pace however I would say MA is good cause you are in and out and you gain skills similar as a RN except we don't do IVS as MA I am already applying to the ADN program and is my next step but have been working as a MA for 6 years ready for the next move °
what is PA?
My MA program was 2,300 out of pocket and it was 11 weeks…DO NOT waste 2yrs or 20k - 40k in student loans for a position that generally starts off at 15 - 19/hr…I love my job at the clinic as a Medial Assistant but I just want to challenge myself and to make more money. I know LPNs that make 80,000 a year just by doing agencies…Medical Assistants don’t have many agencies like CNAs, LPNs and RNs do…those agencies come with great pay and amazing flexibility…I currently work 3days out the week ( 13hr shifts ) with the rest of my week to myself which gives me a nice work-life balance but it’s no where near as nice as the balance I see LPNs and RNs get that do agency…the pay is much nicer too…I’d rather take on a couple more responsibilities and duties to make more money in this field than work as a MA for 10 + years to receive the compensation I desire…also travel LPNs and RNs are literally making close to what NPs are making in a year…if you’re also an MA thinking about going to get your LPN let’s do this!! We got it. Nothing to it but to do it 💕
I recently apply for LPN & didn’t pass the math teas. Although I try. I came to realize I knew English alot better 😂& instead got into the medical assistant program. For every close door there’s a window although I didn’t get into the LPN program I’m grateful I study and give it my all I still ended up getting into a uni I never thought of being able to go .
Yes girl !!! Happy for you don’t give up and keep going until you get where you want to be 💓💓💓
Hi! New subscriber here...thank you for sharing this...I've been looking for this video to enlighten me and help me decide between LPN and Medical Assistant
Omg Thank you so much !!!! This makes me so happy !!! ♥️♥️♥️congratulations 🎉 I also have an Instagram @chantelmarin_
MA’s are Unlicensed Assistive Personal a LVN or RN is licensed by their states BRN. Outpatient and Hospital are very different ballparks. It’s not a good practice to say each role does the same thing.
I’d say it definitely depends on your state. In my state LPN only work in long term care. Some dr office but they get paid the same as CMA in the dr offices they prefer to hire MA because they’re cheaper they will hire LPN but they get the same pay.
For ma private programs I’ve seen the cost be like 15,000 and for LVN 35,000. Some adult schools offer the program for LVN about 3,000-12,000 and MA about 3000. Check your community college/adult schools first before checking private schools
Thank you for your video! I am studying MA program at the San Francisco State University and it is certainly not easy, a lot of material to cover and need a lot of memorization. The program is not expensive because it is a Public University. But I can imagine Nursing must be harder than MA because they have higher responsibilities in the hospital settings which is more complex and demanding than a physician's clinic.
My goal is stay as MA and become Lead MA or MA Manager in a Family Practice because I am passionate about a preventive care. I do not have desire to be LVN or RN. After I complete my MA program, I plan on taking advanced classes in the Geriatrics, Pediatrics. AAMA(American Association of Medical Assistants) has started such advanced programs in Geriatrics and Pediatrics now. Thank you!
I love it Chantel you go girl
Thank you 🙏 🥺💗💗
I'm an MA and bout to be done with RN program. I think it depends on a state, I heard south states prefer LPNs while north like Washington where I work prefer MAs as dominant Healthcare support job. There is about 25% scope differences between MAs and LPNs. the only thing LPNs can do more is assess a stable patient, both work under supervision of RN.
Love this ❤️
Thank you !! Love your videos 💕💕💕
Hello miss lpn means like bath and clean and changes clothes of patients ? Is it yes ?
Otherside lvn menans clean full job no bathing and no cleaning of patients only take care of patients in hospital ??? Pls tell me exactly what happened in job what we fo in lpn and lvn ???
I started as a medical assistant making 47000. And medical assistant school did not cost that much and I got the AOS degree. Seems like you did not do your research prior to jumping in. And after 1 year I was making well over 52000
I definitely did not do research at all 😭I was only 18 and the first in my family to finish high school but I’m glad you got it all working out for you . Congrats and best of luck thank you for sharing your experience ☺️please share what state your in that can also help the students and the school ☺️ and the workplace you’re in . Thank you for your feed back
Thanks for allowing me to share my story on your platform. I’m open to any questions. Anything i can do to help
I like the work of MA, lpn have more responsibilities i wish MA makes more though.
Yes definitely!!! They should because there is a lot of work into it .
I want to work in a doctors office but at the same time I want to be LPN. What do you recommend?
Are LPN’s hired in doctors offices?
Yesss !!! Do LPN a lot of places are hiring LVN s especially doctor office or community health centers , SNF atleast in CALI
Yea. LPN’s primarily work in long term care dr offices or clinics and in home health. Not to say that they don’t or can’t work in hospitals. Hospital work is just harder to find these days for an LPN. In my state they make the LPN’s in the hospital work as a PCT/CNA just with higher pay
I think its sad that you had to pay so much money because if you lived in ohio you can get so many medical education programs for free at comunity Colleges and you can transfer those credits towards a higher degree
Girl mine was only 1,000 Jan-may through the adult school for ma but yup don’t ever sign up for loans to get your ma And lvns are only one paid grade up that’s why I’m just going for my Rn
Nice you got lucky !!! 💗💗💗 yassss 🙏 the LVn gets paid $30 -40 hr and ya girl has bills to pay lol 😩😩
Wow that’s so expensive my program was 5k for 1 year and the lvn program is 7k in Texas
Omg must be so nice !! That’s really cheep and yeah It’s really expensive over here 😭😭
I’m in California and my MA program was 17,000 if you want to get away from home health care MA to RN work in hospitals , I am a cna don’t wanna take orders from lvn or the Rn
Wow , good for you !!! ❤️❤️
Hey which lvn school do you go to? Im in california too
Love this!!!!! I want todo LVN but my loans right I don’t want to add on to it😭
Thank you !!! I’m glad ! And I know girly I know had to to really think hard on it ! But realized they will pay off eventually and education always makes it worth it 😆
You’ll have loans regardless DOctors have over 200K
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😍😍😍😍
What other medical positions are there
Am a pregnant woman working as secretary, looking at the stress, will you advise me to start with lpn or Rn
Hello beautiful I saw your message and you can message me on Instagram ❤️ I would need to know a lil more of your situation to best help follow me chantelmarin_
@@Chantelmarin please give me your Instagram handle

Either program is going to be hard. As someone who has been a MA and an RN and now a FNP with a DNP it’s really about how long can you afford to be in school before getting into the workforce
$30,000 for MA????! Where do you live??? The schools I looked at were $5,000-$7,000...you overpaid for sure
In California it’s so expensive 😭😭😭
I’m Los Angeles
Did you go to a private school? I'm in California taking an MA program at a local community college and it's under 4k
Yes unfortunately at the time I was misguided and took whatever was the quickest to finish my nearest community college did not offer that program.
@@Chantelmarin oh okay, well at least you did the program and accomplished your goals that's all that matters 😊👍 my program may be a lot cheaper, but it's literally taking me forever. I have to do 4 perquisites first before I can even do the actual program, so that's the down side. I won't be able to start the MA program untill the Fall because they don't offer summer classes for it. I won't be done until probably next summer ugh 😩 If someone needs a fast program and can't wait a year or more then I say definitely go on the private school route 👍
How long is lpn program in school?
Hello my program is 18 months ❤️
Here in NY it’s a 10 month full time day program or 18 month part time
@@rohseanshello sir I want to do lvn from queens I am doing phlebotomy frst for requisites please can u suggest from which College I do this?
@sharon mantel yes I did the same thing not worth medical assistant..and now I'm doing lvn!!!
Chantel Marion @ medical assistant was not worth it...so lvn is definitely worth it
I paid 16k for ma tuition in California and rather go straight into RN , skip the lvn
If you can of coarse I know I couldn’t financially and RN does consist of a Monday through Friday schedule
