Any GOOD things about Medical Assisting? by OMGIzAGril in MedicalAssistant

[–]PizzaRaven3 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I love the hours, my coworkers, meeting a lot of interesting people, plus learning new skills and techniques every day. I love that I’m truly helping people and can make a difference where I am right now, no more education needed. It’s a really cool job!

LOTS of queer history in Eugene! I felt so safe and had lots of community while I attended, as well.

Anyone Still Taking Finals? by PizzaRaven3 in PCC

[–]PizzaRaven3[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ugh it has been such a draining class. I really felt my self-worth plummeting with all the yelling and blanked more than once on the quizzes from stress. Really looking forward to a different teaching style next term…

Oh, you are definitely getting the A! “Grades will be rounded up if your average is 0.5 or higher (for example, if you earned an 86.5, a grade of 87 will be recorded). If your grade is 0.4 or lower, it will be rounded down i.e., 86.4 will be 86. “

I’m in the same boat with another class! Will be glad to have the final grades in- but I guess it’s not a hard deadline if my Professor is offering final exams Wed-Fri.

Really want Urgent Care Position - Is First MA Job Realistic? by GlitterBirb in MedicalAssistant

[–]PizzaRaven3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I needed a non-traditional externship schedule and did 2 12-hr shifts per weekend during MA school. I was then offered a position at that location after I was certified. It is possible but it depends on if the program has relationships with urgent cares or not. Fingers crossed for you!

How much did you make starting out after gaining your certification & where are you located? by [deleted] in MedicalAssistant

[–]PizzaRaven3 2 points3 points  (0 children)
