You should have some other classes in there for your bachelor's, like language, math, some easier electives. Did you go to an advisor to plan your classes? That is a wicked hard schedule.

Congrats! 
That seems like a hard schedule. I just finished taking a medical office assistant program 2 weeks ago. I loved it and can't wait to get a job.

I took a medical office assistant program. I got a job in a gastroenterologists office (basically running the office) covering a one year maternity leave, but then found out I am pregnant and turned it down.

You have to have a degree for that and take A & P? I thought it was a certificate program? Maybe it varies by state.

Anyway, congrats on being with child!

I thought about a lot of routes. I may do the Medical Office Assistant duriing school to pay bills. That or Pharmacy Tech are both high possibilities, but mostly leaning toward pharmacy tech or CNA. Pharmacy Tech doesn't require any training, you just have to pass the National Certification Exam... You pay the texas fee to become a trainee, and you can train on the job for up to one year before having to get your certification. It would foot the bills while I am in school, and who knows- Maybe I will go to Pharmacy school instead. Regardless of the path I take, I know these classes will get me in the right direction as my actual degree is "Pre Health Science"

I just finished a Medical Billing and Coding course here in Ohio which is a diploma program.  I had anatomy, medical terminology, and disease essentials.  I am sure it wasn't nearly as indepth as a physician's course though.
