I was an MA for a while and really liked it. The only thing to consider is that if you want to continue your education, the hours can make it difficult to go to school. Most offices are going to run from 8-5 monday through friday, and at least where I live I couldnt really fit any school with it. It can be great as a career though.
I think this is a great stepping stone into healthcare. I am a student right now and I am about to graduate in June. This field has opened my eyes onto new possibilities, now I will be doing nursing!
The clinic I work for when my doctor is not in I just work for a different provider so I always get my 40 hrs a week. My start pay is $16 an hr to start.
Thanh Dela Cruz Ain’t Kaiser really difficult to get into though? Several people sing up and only with most experienced can qualify and top of that there super strict I hear - I try applying to it way back in the days when I was an MA never could get a job there.
I am a senior in high school and have the opportunity to attend a career center and take a medical assisting class and get to become certified at the end of the year! For only $160
fernando yanez Im doing the same thing! I’m more than half way done with my MA college courses. My plan is to work as an MA for a year to save up money for a car to work and go to nursing school
I am enrolled in a medical assistant program and I will be done in February. I plan on going back to an RN program in about 2 years to allow myself to get experience and to save up for school
Medical Assistant is a certification that use to be 6 months not 1 year. For 1 year you can complete the LPN program even if cost a little more. It's worth it because it is the fundamental of skill nursing.
I'm doing the medical assistant program at my local community college hoping to be done with my AS degree after certification and start working I haven't been in school in over 6 years so its been hard
I did my MA I 8 months, FOR FREE!!!! In NY, after the pandemic NYS DOE had a pilot program that the Mayor did. To encourage people to continue to work in the Medical Field, since everyone was so scare of working in healthcare because of Covid-19. I did not spend NOTHING except my book 40.00 and scrubs 70.00 I was blessed
Omg girl how awesome that you got to work for an oral surgeon. I am a Dental Assistant and I currently work for a general dentist but oral surgery is the specialty I want to work in eventually once I get more experience since I just started this profession this year. Love your videos! 💕
Mayra Naranjo trust me you’ll love it I enjoyed working for an oral surgeon it was so fun and interesting you get to see so many different cases, but if that’s the specialty you want to go to just do it you’ll love it😊 thanks girl😭💗
Yessiii21 Vlogs True!! I truly enjoy your videos! Btw do you have an IG account that your followers can follow you in? I don’t mean to sound creepy lol 😁
Mayra Naranjo thank you it means a lot 😭💗and yes I do have IG I’ve been thinking about making it public so my subscribers can follow me but I’ve been so shy lmaooo! But now that u ask here’s my IG: Yessiii21 😊
I am currently working as a temporary medical assistant and started out at $16/hr. But before I was going on interviews which only offered around $11-13/hr
Everywhere in California they want to charge a person 10-12k for the MA program (or any fast or similar position careers) while the job only pays 10-12 an hour! I don’t get why they pay MA basically minimum wage when you have to get a 8-12 months of training to get the job? Basically a ripoff!
Damn. I did a 6-month program here with a community college, in Texas for only $2,000. And I got a job two months after I got certified and I get $15 an hour with possibility of raises later. That is INSANE about California.
Im always drawn to medical field. Although I went to school for something else I still find myself wanting more out of life and career wise. Im looking into Medical assistant and am willing to go for it, the only thing stopping me is the Covid shots. Did everyone here get their Covid shots? What are your experiences after getting it?
@@Yessiii21Vlogs thank you. I guess cause it’s something different and I haven’t had the best experiences with school. But I pray about it all the time 🤍
I’m 29, and been working at a corporate job, I’m looking to change fields. Do you think it’s too late to start? I’m choosing MA because I’m not sure if I’ll like more of the admin side of health care or becoming an lvn.?
It’s definitely not too late, I’m two quarters into my MA degree and I’m 30. Most the people in my cohort are within 5 years of my age. If you want it, go for it!
I’m just turned 29 & I start the MA program in a couple of weeks! It’s never to late, that’s what I thought but I’m literally going to have a career in December
Here in west Texas the MA Program is 3,882 and starting pay I believe is 16.87 but since we have oil field down here I’m sure they will negotiate the Pay per hr , I’m really looking into being a MA or a Pharmacy tech 😭
After gaining some MA experience you can choose to go into a nursing program like for example; LVN or RN :) there’s also other options it just depends what your interests are
Hi I’m interested but what do you think college or an institute an institute they will give me all I need scrubs chrome book ect. But college I’m not shure they do ? Would u know what would be best ?
Is it better to go to an accredited school for medical assisting? Usually the expensive programs are accredited compared to the other ones that are way cheaper.
Yessiii21 Vlogs thanks for responding! I have decided to move forward and will try to get into nursing program as well. I just finished my CNA, I will soon be working in an assisted living to get experienced while I start taking my pre reqs to nursing program. I got so interested in MA when I came across your video, I was actually thought I was not gonna pursue nursing and just take MA instead. But I will never know yet until I get the experience as a nursing assistant if I really want to be a nurse. I had a frontdesk experience thats why I also was considering MA.
Mennie Miller of course! That’s awesome congrats ! I’m glad to hear that you came across my video and that the MA program interested you :)! Im sure you will do amazing in whatever you choose to follow 😊! I wish you the best of luck with your career you got this ✨
I'm proud of you! Thanks for making this video. My questions are: do we have to have our MA degree or can we just get our Diploma? I'm starting this January for my MA diploma. Is the certification test hard? Will their be any skills we have to be tested on? Of will the certification have questions that we will have to answer only? Thanks!
God Ness thank you🤗 You Can just have your diploma that’s what I have for my MA. Where I went to school in 2016 they didn’t offer that test to get certified, it wasn’t really a thing/requirement during that time, so I never took that test but I do definitely plan on taking it 😭!
I did a 6 month program at a local community college and it only cost $2,000. I got a job two months out of getting my certificate. And I get paid $15 an hour. I live in Texas :)
I was in an MA program 3 years ago and failed my last two mods and never went back. Fall of 2019 i decided to go back and i finished all my classes! Now I’m awaiting taking my NCCT and going out to externship. How do you stay motivated? What was some good tips on studying?
Selena Velez that’s awesome ! I’m glad you went back to school to finish your MA program ✨. I just feel like when your heart really wants something your going to go for it no matter what, I myself have always wanted to be in the medical field since I was in elementary. I’m just passionate about the health care field. And I’m definitely not stopping there I’m going to keep to pursue my nursing career. Best advice I can give you is don’t give up no matter what obstacles you face. Life is never easy in general, just always believe in yourself, be confident, be you and strive to do your best in school, and love what you do. And always remember that everything you do will be worth it at the end. As far as studying tips , I highly recommend studying at least a week before , practice your medical terminology on flash cards so it can be easier to memorize. Find a good place to study and take really good notes in lecture so you can go back and erred them. Also what helped me is I color coded every thing in my notebook I had 3 different highlighters , 3 different pens, sticky notes, and a planner to organize myself with everything. My bad i wrote so much😭 good luck with everything you got this ✨
ROP is classroom and on-the-job training in a number of different occupations and futures. You can search up your local ROP and see what programs they offer 😊
Thank you for the utube! I started my Clinical Medical Assistant course 3 weeks ago. I am in a male in my late 40's but wanted to study MA so that I can help people. I am interested in Internal Medicine ( preventive care).After the program, I need to complete externship / internship for 3 months which the college is going to arrange. Do you see any challenges that I might face being a male in my late 40's because this field is mostly dominated by young girls? Thank you!!
Thank you sm glad u liked the video! That’s great I’m glad you have chosen the medical field so that u can help people. As long as you study the material and actually have a passion for wanting to help others then you should be fine. Lost of women do the MA program but that doesn’t mean you should feel discouraged or think there might be challenges. I think it’s great that you are doing the MA program we need more men in the MA field . Keep up the good work 😊
@@Mayrita77 Great question. I see the Medical Assistant profession as an excellent way to get into the Medical field in under a year. It’s a great intro into: Patient care, clinical procedures, small office prep and a great start to a career. Some MA’s stay forever as such and some go to other careers. They pay is good, comparatively speaking and the job outlook is phenomenal. I also help people understand the field and how incredible it was for me as an MA and I’m a strong advocate for today’s Medical Assistant. Hope this helps?
Girl I am literally enrolled and super excited about becoming a medical assistant program in the winter, but I am a bit nervous because I don’t want to forever be a MA. What really stepping stool is there at higher than becoming a nurse ? Like should I just start in a nursing program
Rheanna Bailey Rheanna Bailey that’s awesome I’m glad your excited to start your MA program that’s exactly how I felt when I was starting mine! It will be so much fun your gonna make new friends and learn so many interesting things! I feel you I myself do not want to be an MA forever either, after you are done taking the MA course you can go into the LVN program or try looking for a RN program// taking the MA program is actually a good stepping stone to get into the medical field :)
@@Urmombob69 Yeah. It’s not for me. I hate working at a desk. Looking to go to EMT school. If y’all ever hear of a school called UEI, just know, a community college that offers the same course will be so much cheaper.
A lot of my former classmates tell stories of them not being paid their overtime hours, being paid shitty, their doctors touching them, the doctors themselves working while suspending or without a license (by using another doctors papers), toxic coworkers, clinics firing them prior to their 90 day and hiring someone else, clinics violating/ knowingly neglecting OSHA regulations, them having to do unpaid work, massive workload though they are not experienced enough to do it, they have begun crumbling under stress, they’ve become sad and a shadow of their former self. I studied my ass off to be there in the blood, guts, and glory and instead was given a computer. The pandemic took away the school’s ability to actually teach us. We felt like we were ripped off, many of the students after me entered the field never training with a needle. Online classes don’t do it for the medical field, this is a hands on type of thing to learn. I went into my externship not knowing a thing about EHR, we didn’t have access to the simulation EHR since there was no on campus schooling. Take this with a grain of salt. Maybe your experience will be better, or worse.
@@truanarchy6315 hey! Thanks for giving a heads up, most people won’t warn about the bad parts. I’m researching this career before taking the plunge, which state did you take the program in if you don’t mind me asking?
Hii, I start my clinical medical assistant program very soon and I just wanted to know what’s the good way to study effectively to remember everything you need to know, and also what can I expect with the clinical medical assistant program I’m so nervous but I’ll try my best🙂😊
Hiii !!! 1st off congrats on your new journey of becoming an MA😊!! I recommend making flash cards when studying medical terminology make sure you take good notes and bring highlighters. I would go to the library and study and it would help me focus so much. Be ready to learn lots of medical terminology, and lots of hands on experience. My favorite part was always the hands on experience I was so nervous at 1st learning how to give injections/ draw blood ect.... but once you get the hand of it your going to enjoy it 😊!!

My favorite part was always the hands on experience I was so nervous at 1st learning how to give injections/ draw blood ect.... but once you get the hand of it your going to enjoy it 😊!!
i wonder.. are you living in America? which state?
I hate the Medical Assistant work, not worth it!
I wish we make more money
@@dianatorres6481 Everyone’s Experience is different and as far as the pay rate it depends on the state you live in who you work for/what company / how much experience you have
$20,000!!!😳 I’m going to pay $7,000 😂
It depends where your from. I got a certificate for 2,495.00 with an externship included along with the test.
Mine only cost $2300 and its accredited
I paid nothing. I went to community college and used my pell grant so one can go that route!
Mine is 8,000
I am going to college for medical assistant for around $28,000 is it worth it?
Omg that’s so expensive 😭 way overpriced !!! With 10k more you could of just done the LVN program
Not worth it
20k in Chicago and 10 months 🤬👎🏿
