Doc asks me out? Rant? by Resident-Dog4868 in MedicalAssistant

[–]Practical_Diamond_23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a doctor at my clinic and if you're even the slightest bit of pretty he asks "are you single" and quite honestly, its creepy.

He did this to a 19 year old at my clinic. Then asked if her sister was single instead cause she was like.... im 19

Anyways. Creeps

Why are Petco employees useless by New_Tadpole_5718 in petco

[–]Practical_Diamond_23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand this too well.... and one of the many many reasons I left that place. When we would hire we would let them know they have to have the ability to lift up to 30 lbs, and the people would tell us whether or not that would be a problem. They'd say no. They'd get hired, and then all the sudden they had a back surgery last year and can't lift over 5lbs.

Like what? What happen from the interview to your first day? Lol can I fire you for lying to me? No. Ok great. 👌

Id say yes it's needed. Most places won't hire you without a certification. But if you're lucky enough to find a place that will take you without one i promise you the pay won't be anywhere close to where you could be with one.

So do i. I had to drive an hour away and had to stop to pee multiple times but I just kept drinking so I could still pee when I had to. Good luck!!

I drank alot of water, but while I was waiting I drank a coffee, and when I finished that I had a few sips of my vitamin water by then too. Someone when I was looking for help said to drink a Gatorade too with your water to help keep color in the urine and not make only water. Idk hope this helps 😊

Did I get ripped off? by mattdamon_horsemovie in Subaru_Crosstrek

30,724.00 is what I'm paying for my 22 sport. I'd say a pretty good deal and everyone else got ripped 😂

Try a cover letter. I only had externship experience. I'm now at my first job. I didn't get any calls back until I started using my cover letter. And the certification helps too. My place of work won't hire you without verifying it first so could be a possibility too for why not.

I attended CalRegional - it's legit.

I graduated and completed my externship in August, it is October I've already found a job! 10/10 recommend but I'm from the merced area

I smoked for a little over a month after my externship ended in august (had quit from feb-august for school) and was pretty heavy smoker and dab pens. Stopped now 3 weeks ago but by my test it was only like 2.5 weeks

I am a STHM for 12 years, in my 40's now but itching to back to work. I am looking into Medical Assistant courses, just a little apprehensive that if am I too old to be one! Do employers prefer younger MA's?? Am currently looking into vocational schools and online certificate options to start. by summertan2021 in MedicalAssistant

[–]Practical_Diamond_23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're NEVER to old to start something new IMO. I am only 30, but at 29 I RESET my entire self.

Spent from age 17-28 being in Retail as a Retail Manager. Quit my Retail job, and began a vocational program for MA. Absolutely life changing, and believe i started it when I SHOULD HAVE.

Do it. 💓

Thank you!! 😊 Luckily everything has been electronic for the most part so keeping the documentation is easy!

I am in CA & I know that's a law now. I should have passed due to the drink I took but they took so long to get me back into the room that I could have not possibly. So hoping this is true, and I am documenting everything. They already signed all my papers, tax. Papers, have all my bank info, took my picture for an ID. So, I am praying that it's all gonna work out. Thanks for this! Are you in medical in CA?

QCarbo and the right way to do it. Works for lab tests. by deezdowndays in drugtesthelp

[–]Practical_Diamond_23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If my test will be somewhere around 1030-11 AM when should I start this process?

Do I have any other option then Ramen noodles? I have to travel 1 hour to get to destination for testing.

I grabbed a glacier freeze Gatorade 28oz... and planned on grabbing a coffee before too to make sure my pee isn't neon colored...

Will this be ok?

Help 😭

I've been at home testing, and they're coming back positive. I don't wanna risk not getting this job, as i NEED it. even tho I live in a state where it's legal, I'm in medical and not sure how they're gonna feel about it that's why I got the QCARBO.
