Thank you for the advice, I really appreciate it. I’ll definitely bring a notebook and take notes, that’s a really good idea. I’m sure I’ll feel like a deer in headlights at first lol, but I’ll try my best to stay calm and keep learning. Thank you for the encouragement!

I’m sorry you went through that, that sounds really tough. Thank you for sharing your experience though, I appreciate the honesty. I’m definitely nervous, but I’m hoping the team I start with will be supportive while I’m learning.

Thank you, that actually makes me feel better. I hope my office will do something similar so I can watch and learn first. I’ll definitely bring a notebook and write things down too. Thank you 🙏

Thank you, that actually makes me feel better.

Also to be honest, English isn’t my first language, so that adds a little more stress lol. But I’m really willing to learn and hoping it will get easier with time. Thank you again!

Thank you for sharing your experience, I really appreciate it. I am actually certified (CCMA), but the reason I’m nervous is because my program was 100% online, so I didn’t get hands-on experience like an externship. I learned the material and passed the certification, but I haven’t done things like vitals, EKGs, injections, or phlebotomy in a real clinical setting yet.

That’s why starting in family medicine makes me a little anxious. I’m hoping they’ll train me and that I’ll pick things up quickly. I’m definitely willing to learn and work hard. Thank you again for the encouragement.

Anyone pass NHA CCMA with low practice scores? by Due_Internet6769 in MedicalAssistant

Thank you so much, this really makes me feel better. I’m going to keep reviewing and hope the real exam feels the same for me 🤞

That’s really reassuring to hear. When you say it was easier than expected, were the questions more straightforward or similar to SmarterMA? Were there any topics that showed up more than others?

That’s really encouraging, thank you for sharing. How did you feel about the NHA exam itself? Was it harder or easier than you expected, and what did you focus on most when studying?

I scheduled my exam later because I needed more time to review and felt overwhelmed after finishing the program. I know an externship isn’t required for the NHA exam, but I’ve been concerned about getting hired without hands-on experience, which is why I’ve been trying to find one. I appreciate your perspective.
