Are medical assistant's...frowned upon, disliked, or maybe considered "lower-class" in the medical world? I am a RMA who is happy as one and have a huge amount of respect for RN's but am a bit apprehensive on becoming one. I don't think I would be able to handle that amount of pressure and responsibility that is sometimes much more than a Dr. Im sure the job is awesome and the gratification is just absolutely incredible but at this point Im happy as a RMA..I think I would go as far as a LVN
