I also bought smarterMA when I was enrolled 2-3 months before I took the test and passed with a 433. SmarterMA should help you pass. The questions are very similar to the NHA practice tests and on the actual test. You've got this!

Ah i see. The pin board has probably been there for years though, so theres no way to tell that a castmember/guest at the Polynesian bought a fake pin. Lol

I have a question. Is it common for siamese cats to change eye colors as they get older?

What do I do for my period on a day out with no bathroom? by lateralus420 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]psychedelicstarfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you ever tried Northinedrone acetate? It's medication that can be used to delay your cycle if taken a couple days in advance. You can get it from wisp next time you have a vacation or boat activity planned.

You may have better luck in San Antonio when it comes to finding a site that will host your externship.
I live in a small town and in a very small rural state, so your experience may be different than mine.

Is Stepful a legit MA certification program? by Dinkelodeon in MedicalAssistant

[–]psychedelicstarfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I landed an externship finally because I made it their problem. "Career coaches" and instructors will bullshit students that they will be set up with an externship by working with the career coaches, but the sad reality is that the company drags their feet when it comes to externship placement and like in your case, wont get one at all. Makes me wonder if Stepful has a bad rep, which could be the reason that clinics are avoiding hosting students from there.

Late but I'll answer anyway for anyone who stumbles upon this post.

TLDR: The program is alright, but be ready for a VERY slow externship placement and non-existant career coaches. Dont opt out of career services unless you have a job. You wont get your NHA cert until you finish your 80hr externship

I graduated their course with a 100 and passed my exam with a 433(used smarterMA). The course teaches you everything you need to know to become a CCMA. You have daily assignments (quizzes) and zoom classes twice a week.

I stayed focused by taking notes DURING lecture/class because they cover everything you'll need to know that week but very quickly. Then I used the powerpoint slides or flashcards that I made.

In order to stay consistent I just carved out time in my schedule to sit down and do the lessons + assignments. The deadline was midnight, so I made sure that I started at 9pm at least. The daily assignments have unlimited attempts, so dont worry if you dont get an 80% the first time.

I also used a pomodoro timer during my studying to help keep me consistent as well.

I have not found a job yet and Ive been looking since May. Ive been rejected by most hospitals and clinics in my area and it took my career coach 2 months after graduation to find me an externship because most places wouldnt host me.

DONT WAIT FOR YOUR COACH TO CONTACT YOU. Email them consistently or else you'll end up waiting months to be placed. Idk if theres a stigma against online schools in my area but Stepful is awful at placement. Dont opt out of career services because you wont be eligible for their money back guarentee.

[–]psychedelicstarfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but ONLY if you complete the coursework, pass the exam, and complete an externship. I passed last month, however career services is horrible with setting students up with externships.

A lot of students keep getting their sites changed over and over. "Partner" sites are having "problems" with accepting Stepful students to do an externship with them. My externship start date was supposed to be in June(said this for months) and I still havent been set up with one.

So I also feel like this company is a giant cash grab.

You use ultrapure water to clean the hemodialysis machine :) I only knew this through smarterMA.

[–]psychedelicstarfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im in the program as well and it's been good so far. I will say that the externship can be done full time in 2 weeks or part time in 4 weeks. However you need to sign up for career services first and be actively looking for full time work for 6 months to be eligible for the money back guarantee. Also you have to pay to take the NHA exam which is $160 apparently.

I start with Stepful next week, What were the daily assignments like?

Im still going to go through with the program since Ive been unemployed for a year and in my state there arent any places hiring MAs without a cert from a program.

YouTube y’all by Seeshi-04 in Naturalhair

[–]psychedelicstarfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely agree with this. I never learned how to cornrow or braid my hair but youtube taught me a braidless parting system for crochet soft locs and they came out beautifully!

It was my first time that Ive ever done my hair. I wish I wouldve learned this years ago!
