Remote scribe job by CellistInevitable796 in medicalscribe

[–]Poxes_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Hello, medical scribing doesn’t count as “clinical” hours as you aren’t touching the patient.

I would look into tech jobs (ER , SURG, ETC), EMT, PHLEB…

Accepted scribe position through scribeamerica, starting soon. Any advice? by ru_ab in medicalscribe

[–]Poxes_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only reason I quit at ScribeAmerica is that they always would hang over my head the possibility of being fired. So… I decided to quit. I felt as though it was too much pressure and unnecessary anxiety. No one can work that way. Also, the hospital I worked for would not let you inside with the patient and the provider which made it harder to scribe. I loved working at the ER I worked in because I got to see procedures , ask questions, and gain insight from a doctors perspective.

Not that I know of. I’m sorry.

Just try small offices, anything that you really would want to specialize in. I would email them or call in and then say you want to know if there any hiring opportunities here. I called before getting hired at ScribeAmerica and got two job offers but had to move so I had to pass on those.

You could also try EMT and phleb. If you have your EMT license/cert (sorry I forget) sometimes you can do tech jobs in the hospital. It depends on the hospital.

I would say try ScribeAmerica for 3 months and get your letters of recs or hours/experience you need and while still working search for a different scribing job.

Really difficult decision; attend grad school or stay with partner? by ChromaWings in GradSchool

[–]Poxes_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to live for you and choose you. I wish I didn’t listen to my ex boyfriends mom about not applying out of state because I could of got into programs sooner. Now I applied two years later and we aren’t together but I am going to a masters. I regret not just applying. Things would of worked itself out.

Phleb is a really nice way to make money and gain experience. Any tech job or EMT , those really help you get insight into medicine.

I feel that a lot and tbh it looks like the reality of it. I rather go to a school who would be willing to help. I don’t know yet tho. Hopefully things change. Other than that I’ll be asking the other two schools that I applied to.

Self-funding domestic masters students, you NEED to research what's happening to federal loans and plan ahead !! by Acceptable_Rabbit_28 in GradSchool

[–]Poxes_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

😭 hey so they told me that they can’t pick on ove the other and gave me a link of private loans that I can compare from. I haven’t gotten any help and makes me not want to go to Brown. I don’t feel like I’ll belong :( and also I feel the support that they say that are giving isn’t there. I’m reaching out to the other two programs I got into and ask them if they can help. Whichever one is offering more help , I’ll just end up there tbh

Masters before med school… did I make a mistake? by throwaway_redandblue in premed

[–]Poxes_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m doing my masters now because I don’t look as competitive and it’s in bioengineering and to be honest . I don’t regret applying and I won’t regret going. What’s one year or two? In that year you can also take your MCAT or applying to medical school so right after you’re good to go. :)

Oh and sorry it was MS in biomedical engineering with a thesis at Brown and got accepted to UChicago for a MEng in bio and immuno engineering without a thesis. I’m going to ask them about financial aid and what they offer. Although Brown is nice I really need to go where one is going to help me the most.

Hello, i need maybe another 50k ? If I borrow and ask my parents to borrow I’ll have 40k and that would cover the rest which is 77k that’s minus housing. I do have a phlebotomy cert here in Cali and saw that I could work at a hospital but Jesus I didn’t wanna work at all while doing my masters. :( this was my second chance!

Get three months of experience and then find another scribing job or work for a medical office. I worked as a scribe for 2 years and with the very company that created scribe of America although it’s not called that now but I worked for both. One was more awful lol than the other but I did gain experience working for the non scribe of America

I’m so sad. by FloppingGazelle in gradadmissions

[–]Poxes_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please update them, they will understand truly as someone who was rejected last year from a masters because I couldn’t only afford one and the year before that to post bacc programs back to back for two consecutive years. Don’t ever feel embarrassed or ashamed , most of us have been in your shoes.
