I start an MA program in 2 days and i’m EXCITED! As a young mom (21) who was going through depression for years and never had a plan or motivation to pursue a career this is big for me. I don’t mind being looked down upon by people in higher positions because just a few months ago I couldn’t see myself doing anything in life. This is me showing myself that I can apply myself and be something so i’ll take whatever comes with the experience. Maybe later on i’ll end up furthering my education and moving up the ladder 💖

I’m glad that you said it’s okay to have Medical Assistant as a long term career. Almost everybody I know says to go for nursing instead of MA. But if I find a good job I think I would be happy with being a MA.

I have 3 more months until I go into my externship, and medical assistant wasn’t my first choice but I agree it’s a great way to get myself introduced into the medical field. In the future I plan to go to school to become an ultrasound technician, and I told myself if I can graduate and become an RMA I will continue with school to become an ultrasound tech

Went to MA school for 12wks, never had the opportunity to do an externship. After much applying here and there, with God’s help got hired . Starting within few days but nervous as hell. Pray for me🙏

This is exactly why I wanted to start off as a Medical Assistant after I graduate this year. I feel like it’s a good stepping stone, & want to start off entry level or at the bottom and collect terminology and being around doctors etc. before just simply jumping into Nursing immediately lol. I gotta feel it out first, thanks for the advice!

Thank u sis 💓 i really needed to hear this... for a long time I put it off and I got 3 kids single mom and finally figured it out. Hearing ur confidence and seeing a young black woman like me making it is my new journey in life

😭🥰 please keep these videos coming girl I love your strive. Great motivation for me I’ll be done in September. I’m using it as a stepping stone and then work myself up.

thank you so much for this. first time watching your channel, & I already loved your vibe! I feel so passionate about doing this as a career & i ain’t letting nobody stop me! I loved this! God bless you!💛

Going to school to become a medical assistant. Can’t wait until I start my journey ☺️

Love your attitude, your insight and honest, beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for this and your professionalism!

I appreciate this video, thank you!

Love your positivity ❤️ I start MA school next month and I can’t wait!!!!!!

Great video! I'm praying to start the medical assisting program this fall (2022). I have all of the requirements needed for the program completed. I hope to work in an OBGYN clinic once I become certified. I do want to try pediatrics, urgent care, and primary care as well. We'll see. ☺️

I bet Medical Assistants get tired of hearing “are you a Nurse”. And then there are those that tells patients they are a nurse 🙈😂

You are gorgeous and so intelligent. Great blessings on your career journey ✨✨

This is phenomenal work for medical administrative assistant candidates. It's great to view. Please continue future content

Thank you so much for your encouraging words.❤️❤️

You are absolutely right about everything, pros and cons

I’m in school now for MA. I’m so excited to get out in the field and start my journey!

I've been looking into med school for medical assistant for awhile now and i appreciate you doing this video, it definitely gives me more thought as to if this is the right choice for me.

So proud of you!! 🎉

Currently about to start my 8 month program at Concorde and I’m watching medical assistant videos like crazy. I’m very excited thank you for the details plz do more ! Btw I’m interested in being a OBGYN CMA.

Great video. Also, I love your hair!

Great job. I LOVE this 👍

Thank you for your story. You are very helpful

You have good vibes/ energy…. I love it!!!! 😍

Ima registered MA and phlebotomist with my CPR certification. I live i New Orleans . I wish we had the opportunities you named . It’s hard to make a career doing MA jobs .

Thank you for your video you are right there is a stepping stones and doing things and I believe in that so much I started out as a certified CNA then a dialysis technician a certified phlebotomist and now the medical assistant I have worked in dialysis centers I have worked in the hospital that has urgent care and I worked in occupational medicine so I did both sides and take of patients and occupational medicine I also work at internal medicine with adults and pediatric. Now going to start working in a gynecologist office I just wanted a little heads up at how things run so thank you so much for your video and listening to the things you were saying really it. I went to college and got my medical assistant so I got associate applied science degree upstate they don't have short programs for the medical assistant you have to go through the college which is a two-year program

I just recently graduated as a Medical Assistant it’s been very hard getting a job as Medical Assistant a lot of these clinics want the medical assistant to be bilingual, so discouraging but I’m not going to give up I’m going to keep sending out my resume

I have been a medical assistant for 25 years and love it. Now I am older and going to start remote medical assistant.

Thank you for this very informational video! I start in the Fall after being a CNA for almost 6 years. I didn't get into Nursing this year but I want something different than CNA and this seems right up my alley. Who knows maybe I'll just stay an MA!

Queen u are a whole vibe😎🍃🌬🌸 start MA on the 30th of this month. Graduation June 2022🏥👩‍⚕️💉🥼🩺

This was so helpful thank you! I have 3 weeks until externship I can’t wait 😍

i start my program in 6 DAYSSS. I'm so so so very excited ! not nervous at all, certainly looking forward to it, I'm 100% sure of my choice and will do and Try my absolute best

I was wondering what program you were in to that they paid for you to school? I also am looking into medical assisting.

How much office paperwork do u have to do ? I want to work with patients but hate paperwork just want to focus on the clinical part

Im currently working as an MA and getting trained because I’m not certified. I already knew how to draw blood from my previous job but idk if I should still get certified? My goal is to go to med school so the clinical experience is a pro. I still don’t know if getting certified would be worth it but what if I need to change jobs? When I was applying for my current position I got a lot of interviews (no MA certification is required in FL) but I had a hard time getting a position because I can only do part time while studying for the MCAT 🥴

I start school June 28th never been in the medical field super nervous……. I was a driver for FedEx so completely different pace but I’m excited for this new chapter any tips or pointers would be greatly appreciated

I love being a medical assistant

Im going to Concord next month thanks for the tips im so excited!!

❤️❤️❤️

I agree with your cons. I’m starting nursing school in September and it’s hard to work in a doctors office with the hours they need you 😩. Im looking into home health aid while im in school it’s a bit more flexible

How long did it take to become that like school time ? Is the pay good ? Which certifications did you get ?

I needed watch this , I'm in school for MA

You my MA sister girlllllll I am taking my course next year. I appreciate you video can you upload more??? Have you worked in dermatology???

Single mom here 🤔 Thinking of becoming a MA to work in sports medicine or orthopedics and hopefully I can become a PT Or a OT after 😅 Also I saw MA can work hospital 12 hrs shift in my state or Prn. Lets see how it goes😀

Hello! I have interviews to become a medical assistant with no experience at all. The only Issue I’m a little nervous about the medication part. I know whenever you bring the patient in you go over their medication with them but some big words are hard for me to pronounce. And tips about that? I’m a smart person for sure but it’s just that one thing lol

What’s it like working in internal medicine ? I start MA school next week and I’m excited , but I want to work either peds or internal

So, I'm currently doing the last few weeks of my clinicals and then externship. Each day I feel like I'm getting a little better with clinical skills, but at the same time I'm not sure if it's enough to do well in externship. If I practiced these skills everyday maybe, but unfortunately my MA clinical skills course is only 1 day a week through my community college. I'm trying to learn and remember everything to the best my ability but, I still can't help but feel like, maybe healthcare isn't for me. Idk? haha

Hey I’m thinking about becoming a medical assistant but I’m scared of blood what’s advice would you give me for someone that scared of blood and working with patients.

I'm starting Medical Assistant school soon, going for my associates degree. What tips to you have? Is it hard?

Congratulations on becoming a medical assistant! I’m in school now to become a medical assistant now, so nervous are the exams hard and wt about EKG, phlebotomy???

I’ve heard that it’s difficult to find a job as a MA if you’re not bilingual? I’m located in California soo maybe that’s just here? idk 🤷🏾‍♀️

I graduated 2020 and went straight to nursing school but took a leave after one semester. Couldn't go back to school since I have some debt. Once I pay it off ive been thinking of transferring to a community college and becoming an MA. I'm starting to doubt nursing is for me 😅

Thanks

what program did you do?

Hey I'm medical assistant too.i want to ask if medical assistant got any vacancy in Saudi Arabia becoz like nurses they say the salary is high there.any comment help tq

I’m going for medical assistant I hope to get a job in an urgent care

Aw man i’m scared, I have my practicum soon. What exactly are they looking for? ☹️

I go out in the field on Monday very much nervous 😂

I just became an MA with no schooling at all... I guess times have changed after COVID idk??? it's in a OBGYN clinic.

I am a CNA/ CMA and have being working as a CNA for over 10 years but I have decided to work as a CMA what website can I go to study to be a certified CMA.

Are you a certified medical assistant or a certified clinical medical assistant? I can’t decide which to go to school for.

Do they care about tattoos? I want to get a hand tattoo and a neck tattoo lol but I’m trying to get into my career first..

Do u have to get covid vaccine

how much do medical assistants usually get paid?

Is this job making enough money to live on your own?

I'm in school to be a Medical Assistant and I almost done, but it's something I don't see myself doing for years. I am just using it as a stepping stone to get into Nursing school. I am just worried about finding a job because I don't have the experience and i am changing careers. It may take me awhile to get the hang of being a Medical Assistant it's something new and different for me. @Nurse Kyra
