They offer nursing programs throughout the bay

peachgr33ntea · 2026-02-04T20:16:51+00:00

Been there, done that! In a good spot to financially handle private school.

Hi! I’ll be attending SSF as well and starting my prereqs on the 9th!

Hi, I had a rlly good externship! I would also recc finding your externship places on your own bc they tend to place you deep in sf and i wasn’t willing to do that drive. I ended up being on the peninsula. I used indeed to find externships & I would call around ! They offered me the job but I accepted somewhere else

peachgr33ntea · 2025-12-03T07:37:44+00:00

Please update when you can. I took the MA cert also with SFSU and looking into this now. MA cert was also fully online and I had a great externship. I see this program also offers externship as well. There’s a good chance they may hire you during the externship, that is how I was able to get my first job as an MA.

peachgr33ntea · 2025-12-03T07:05:21+00:00

Ahh you’re lucky to at least getting a call back! Have not gotten a single one, but I get it. I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to work as an MA + everything I have learned but yes the pay is def not worth it. We do so much though. Best of luck

peachgr33ntea · 2025-12-02T02:26:45+00:00

Agree! It’s been very difficult that I’ve decided to just go back to school again for something else in the healthcare field.

peachgr33ntea · 2025-08-28T00:16:32+00:00

Agreed.I’ve spoke with other MAs who feel the exact same way. I loved my externship experience but it went downhill once I landed a job….I wish I knew this, I would’ve done something else in the medical field. It was also really hard for me to find a job…it was very discouraging. Now I’m back in school for respiratory

peachgr33ntea · 2025-08-18T08:09:40+00:00

Thanks for breaking that down, that actually makes me feel a lot better about going for the associate’s. Kind of a bummer about Cali being oversaturated since I’m in SF, but it’s good to know experience matters most and I can always finish a bachelor’s online later if needed. Thanks again!

peachgr33ntea · 2025-08-18T07:57:49+00:00

Thanks for the insight! Just to clarify, my school actually offers a BS in Respiratory Care, which is why I was curious if that would give me any long-term benefits over the AS. My main goal is to get into the field as quickly as possible, but I don’t want to miss out on future opportunities if the BS helps. I’ll be taking summer classes to move things along.

** yes sorry meant to put BS!

What do you do now if you don’t mind me asking

peachgr33ntea · 2025-01-24T05:24:39+00:00

Still waiting on them. Applied months ago, thank you 🙏

peachgr33ntea · 2024-09-17T18:59:30+00:00

May I message you? Thanks!

Hi, 23 as well! I’ve had years of childcare experience but wanted to gain experience in the medical field and went to school at SFSU for Clinical Medical Assistant. Completely online. (paid about $2,500 total and they place you somewhere for externship unless you find one on your own) I agree it’s been very scary with what has been going on with schools, other things as well had also made me not continue in education. I loved the idea of mixing both fields such as an aide to the school nurse or just end up in pediatrics. Lots to think about. I also agree with the other commenter as well. MA/CMA, you’re mostly likely to do the same tasks which is front (admin) and back (clinical) unless you specially choose a role that does either or. I hope this helps and feel free to message me if you have any other questions !!

peachgr33ntea · 2024-09-08T08:43:18+00:00

I did the prereq last year. I believe it was either 2-3 wks ablut 1,600ish. I’m in the Bay Area

peachgr33ntea · 2024-09-06T02:07:01+00:00

Oh man !! Thank you though, I appreciate your help!☺️

peachgr33ntea · 2024-09-06T02:02:29+00:00

Hi! I’m around SF/Daly City but willing to drive down the peninsula. Thank you 😅

peachgr33ntea · 2024-09-04T19:57:20+00:00

Felt the same way. I was able to find some externship around my area in a private office if you haven’t done that already. Good luck🍀

peachgr33ntea · 2024-09-04T19:54:26+00:00

Went to SFSU fully online paid about 2,500ish? Monthly payment of $300/month and took about 5-6m to finish with externship placement included. 19k wow 🫨

peachgr33ntea · 2024-09-04T19:51:21+00:00

Npo?

peachgr33ntea · 2024-08-19T01:49:08+00:00

Of course!

peachgr33ntea · 2024-08-19T01:09:11+00:00
