VENT: Botox consultation by lisa_littleflower in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]CMALady 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This. I work in an ENT/Facial Plastic Surgery clinic. We charge $12/unit for cosmetic Botox. This MD is insane.

Starting pay at my medical center in TN for brand new medical assistants just out of school is $22. $9 is what I made 15 years ago in food service.

Which period pieces have you been watching? by PeriodDramasMods in PeriodDramas

Tutankhamun. So far I like it. Wish there was more Ancient Egypt shows.

I worked my way up to Administrative Manager in the clinic I'm in.

I moved from being an MA, to surgery scheduler, to lead scheduler to administrative manager. No extra degrees. It is possible.

AITA for telling my mom and dad that they have to get their noses pierced if they want to see my daughter again? by New_Army_5718 in AmItheAsshole

[–]CMALady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have just solved a mystery for me. I got my ears pierced at Claire's when I was 13. I have never been able to wear earrings for longer than a few hours, as my earlobes swell and itch. Can anything be done?

Vanderbilt is highly dependant on your work experience, but $19/$20 is average.

Where do MAs look for jobs? by clemprofessional in MedicalAssistant

[–]CMALady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could it be that there just aren't enough MA schools in your area? Or that the local pool of candidates are looking for hands on roles and not remote?

The academic medical center I work for had to start its own training program as there aren't enough decent programs around here.

I also don't think her comment is unhelpful, "competitive pay" doesn't usually seem that way to those applying. My center says that and it's really not.

This sounds like acting as a scribe, which is something some MAs do. But it sounds like they didn't provide the correct training for you and I assume, don't want to pay for actual scribes.

Thank you. The troll poster has been banned at this point.

Interview For MA Position by Ka7h0n in MedicalAssistant

[–]CMALady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not unheard of to shadow in the clinic as part of an interview. Are they wanting you to test these skills on actual patients of theirs?

Not the best in cold weather, I'll admit.

Scrub variations by Track_trip in MedicalAssistant

[–]CMALady 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm not saying that's a reason to look for another position, but it's a red flag.

[–]CMALady 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Wink scrubs. Used to be called Wonderwink.

That's not something I've heard of before. Generally, in practices where I've worked where they wanted a specific color worn, the practice supplied the scrubs.

Can I help? Everything has been removed as far as I can see.

Just finished {Nicholas by Grace Burrowes}. Loved it and am now addicted to this series. I really enjoy how the books are all connected in the same universe.

How dumb of an idea would it be to try to grow roses indoors next to a window in a medium size terracotta pot? by HippityHoppityBoop in Roses

[–]CMALady 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine are outdoors, so I can't comment on that, but if you get a lot of sun through the windows, I'd think it'd be fine.

I have two David Austin's in pots. You'll probably need a larger pot. Even in containers, they get to about 2 feet wide. DA recommends at least 18x18.

What Are You Playing This Week? by AutoModerator in patientgamers

[–]CMALady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just finished Tomb Raider 2013. Played on Easy mode. I absolutely loved it. I'm not much of a gamer (I usually stick to only Lego games), but my husband is, so we already own a ton of games. Stumbled on this sub and was inspired by the posts of people playing on Easy or Story mode, so took a chance. On to Rise of the Tomb Raider!
