well I am a MA and have decided to go to cosmetology school also. (Doctors offices wasn't for me) The school I am going to try to go to is like 12,000 which is really really high compared to most(5-7 thousand). I have found out by talking to the school that different states may require different hours example.... My state requirement is 1500 hrs which will take a year to complete. Just type in your state and and cosmetology requirement i.e ';Florida state cosmetology License requirements. I am nervous to start cosmetology but I'm gonna do it anyways. Being a medical assistant and doing hair are so different but this is what I want. I too was going for my RN and decided just to get my MA and now after graduating and working I know where I want to be. I hope the best!
