I am starting my first job as a medical assistant at a urgent care the 13th of june and i am so excited as i got my phlebotomy certification and is absolutely excited but as well do you have any tips for me?
Glad to see another male Medical Assistant. I just started in the field and just got my phlebotomist technician certification. Once I work for about 5 or so years I want to continue my medical career and go to nursing school and become an RN. Best of luck to you bro!
I’m thinking of going to school to be an RN but considered waiting to start as an MA instead. I’m curious what is your thought process in working for 5 years first THEN going back to school? Is it for money or resume or?
I’ve recently thought about doing to school for this because I want to help people, but also my anxiety makes me nervous to have such a large responsibility
S***, I administer medications as a RMA. Guess it depends on where you work and what your physician allows. Now I'm not too sure about administering steroid shots but I administer a lot of immunizations, I do blood draws, ekgs, lab work, front desk work, etc.
I’ve always worked at university’s, I work at university of Loyola in Chicago, came from university of Iowa I’m a medical assistant have been 7 years I come from neurosurgery and made a big mistake joining surgical ortho. In ortho they don’t let allow us to administer these meds because they go into the joint, it’s not a regular subq or im or anything like that. I’m glad I’m finishing my last 2 weeks ik ortho, only been here 2 months and there’s no blood draws no ekgs no ear lavage no nothing ! We hardly even do vitals. I strongly suggest if your an MA who truly likes to be on hands stay AWAY from orthopedics.
@@veniqueoxox8327 I would say Ortho can still be hands on in other ways, but it's more so bracing. We fit patients with knee, ankle, and wrist braces every single day.
Wow good content 😊 by any chance did you went to Plano senior high school in Plano tx I could swear you look like someone I know when I went there 🤔🤔☺️
I graduated as a Medical Assistant in 1983 . My curriculum included : Phlebotomy , Learning to take x-Rays , Typing and Injections . Once I was in the real world , the only skill I was able to do was drawing blood and weighing patients . I only worked for 2 months , because they had changed owners . Clinics send out their blood work to independent labs and hospital have x-ray technicians . I realized that the program was designed for one to be a "do everything" in a clinic. I ended up working in something else . These days I learned that you can take a course as a Phlebotomist Technician for two weeks and then get certified. In my opinion and just my opinion , being a Medical Assistant is like wearing a white gown and doing just a few things. My advice is that instead of looking to become a Medical Assistant, become a RN. .
But not everyone wants to become a RN. Some people just want a step food in into the medical field to see if it right for them like me. I’m about to do my MA programs and after go back for barbering.
@@TheTehJoJooh wow Currently in that same boat 😅 I’m 4 months into my MA program I like it so far but idk if I can be an MA My entire life which is why I’m looking to expanding and Trying different Careers like Barbering That I’m thinking of Doing Afterwards 🙏 how’s your experience so far?
So I have my CCMA certificate and am also a Phlebotomy technician, it's super hard to find employment at my entry level experience. Any recommendations or advice?
Even though you drew up the medication, by leaving it in a drawer that isnt locked, you have no idea who or what has been done to it when you return for it. EVERY medication drawn up in a syringe needs to be labelled, unless you are injecting it immediately after preparing it. What's with an 18g needle??? I sure hope you are changing it to a smaller needle before injecting it in a patient. Also, wipe the top of the vials with alcohol prep.
Sir I am a medical assistant.now i am working a medical college hospital in Bangladesh as a medical assistant.i have 4 years work experience in this position.i want to your country for job.have any vacancy there? Please 🙏 knock me..
It’s clean technique. Withdrawing these medication do not require sterile gloves. You don’t need an alcohol swab when opening the cap on a new medication
hi! in my high school we have a medical assistant and a pharmacy tech class to during our senior year. i also want to be pre med so I was wondering which is best in your opinion since you know much about medical assistant:)
I started my MA career almost a year ago. I've surprised patients cause they see mainly females in the office. We are few in number, but we are out here.
Ahh! It feels refreshing to see a fellow male Medical Assistant. Not a lot of us are in these types of roles.
I agree! I start my MA course in March

Thanks
I finished my medical office assistant course last month. ❤🎉🎉 Very interesting course now looking for volunteer work 😊.
Congrats!
@@markjtvelasquez Thank you.
@@markjtvelasquez hello sir, I got a call from a hospital in my town they are saying I need a cpr certification. Did you had to get that?
@@Rachellemc23 yes, that is essential for any clinical provider to obtain for legal reasons
@@markjtvelasquez i have signed up for the course 😌 Thank you.
Do MA also inject? Here in Germany you can also do it. The docs delegtate some tasks such as blood collection or doing the spirometry to the MAs
Yes, MA’s have the ability to deliver injections. Some providers may have different preferences depending on dosage and injection site.
very unpaid

I applied to so many jobs and nothing. Definitely need some help
My fellow male MA!
Is medical assistant, a good career I’m thinking about taking a course on it
No labeling?
Does anyone have study methods ?
If you want to assist in surgery is there a specific course you need to study aside doing the normal MA course
maybe your should look into surgical techs. they usually assist before, during, and after surgeries.

Cant draw up meds in new york
Wait, does this mean you’re recapping the needle if you’re putting them aside for later use like that? 🤨
You didn't wipe bottle cap
They need to be paid higher than 20$ an hour.
Yes more like 25 an hour is fine 👌
Medical assistant is a scam and many schools bs you with job prospects
Where I live the highest pay is 16-17

He’s in orthopedics. The needle sizes are much larger in certain areas like knees. MA for Rheumatologist speaking.
What’s the starting salary if you don’t mind asking
I looked it up it says that the average is 17.50 so if that’s accurate then that’s not bad at all
It depends on the state & city you’re in.
depends on where you live and your experience. Im an MA, i make $23 an hour.

Biotech lab assistant here would my background be useful? I just don’t want to stick to one career
That’s so cool 😎 💉✌️
That’s not actually sterile technique at all
How can I adapt when I’m in a class of all females and you are the only male?
Repent of your sins and turn to Jesus Christ for he died for all of us while we were still sinners. He is coming back soon.
Difn't see him wash or sanitize hands
Not one alcohol swab was used in this demonstration. And the gloves were not sterile. Just saying.
