[@nikkinicole4990]

I want to become a PA and I was wondering is it a good idea to become a CMA right out of high school just to see if I like it and get some Patient care hours experience? Also is it a job you can do during college or just in summer? Than you !

[@makaylaortiz4031]

Yes that is actually what I’m doing now! I also go to college too , it’s tough but it’s gonna be worth it !

I supposed to be starting soon as a pediatric medical assistant but i am scared. I’m currently a PCT right now working in day surgery and med Surg so this is new for me.

Am I the only one that thought that alarm clock in the beginning was mine 🤣 Love your video girl!!! I’m currently starting classes to become a MA 🥰 so excited!!

@@yourlatincma6564 I start school tomorrow morning for medical assistant and I’m so nervous 😭

[@ItsJazminAlvarez]

I really like what a Cma does but im still thinking about it im not a college girl I drop out college when on my first semester besides i have heard the pay its low Can you do a video about the pay?

[@yourlatincma6564]

Yeah, absolutely! Salary for cma can vary from state to state, also depends on your experience (if any) on your employer (like if you work for a private practice or at a hospital) and on the specialty. I’ll be glad to explain a little more on the next video. Please visit my IG and drop any other questions you have in my DM’s ❤️❤️ thank you for the support

How can I manage MA travel nursing and school for my RN BSN

[@isabolanos1148]

😍😍

[@lupitabarrera1053]

How long was your MA program and any tips you may have for people starting?

[@yourlatincma6564]

My program was a year long, PLUS externships. My advice: get those externship hours, and as much experience as you can. If you wish to pursue further medical education, it’ll be extremely helpful 🤍

do you have to draw blood or give shots?

[@kepancakesss5581]

Please the alarm gave me anxiety 😟😂

[@KaylaHuggins88]

Hi I just wanna know would you consider this job stressful and hard? I have 2 interviews for a medical assistant but I’m not certified at all. I don’t have any experience just hospital experience working front desk. I’m a little nervous

[@yourlatincma6564]

I believe it depends on the setting, the staffing, and the patient flow at the place you will be working at. In my experience, working at the Urgent Care has been a little more hectic than the medical office since it’s more walk-ins than appointments. Other than that, I don’t consider the job to be neither stressful, nor hard. Hope it helps and good luck with your interviews! I know you’ll crush it 💪🏻❤️

[@KaylaHuggins88]

@@yourlatincma6564 thank you😀the one interview I had I knew I would get it. I did so good on the interview and was suppose to go yesterday for my second one and to meet the staff and doctors, it was at a doctors office. Well the lead MA put in her notice so they didn’t have the staffing to train me. I was sad because I really wanted that job and it was only a 20min ride from my house and free parking lol. The manager did say if she had any other openings in the different clinics she would reach out to me. I have an interview on Friday in Urology and I’m hoping I crush this one lol. My current job I hate lol so fingers crossed

[@happyfeliz6564]

@@KaylaHuggins88 how did it go

[@KaylaHuggins88]

@@happyfeliz6564 well I ended up taking a position in urology and it’s a very busy clinic in the hospital, but you learn a whole lot. Weiss short staffed and depending on what doctor is working that day huh will be working overtime lol. My shirt was 8-4:30 but most days we don’t get outta there at that time. The work we do is basically nurse work we do EVERYTHING. I know some places you just turn the patient and take vitals, but at my job it’s way different you definitely assist the doctor or Pa but it’s a lot to take in and sometimes it can be overwhelming. It’s been a month and I’m still learning. I wanted to quit hut I’m going to stick it out for year get the experience and transfer to another department within the hospital that’s less busy lol

[@happyfeliz6564]

@@KaylaHuggins88 hello thanks for answering my question. i have a interview this Monday. if i do get the job i would work with all the little kids 0-18 ... i am a little scared myself since all i work before is labor job.

[@rosemarycastillo5178]

Hey, I am currently in college, my major is health communication. I am now looking into some programs in nyc for cma or rma. I know it will be a while to get my bachelors degree, so I want to be able to do something else that I am interested in. Ive always wanted to be in the medical field whether if I am in the front desk, being a nurse, anything. I like being in the front desk and doing it's duties. But me being an over thinker, I am scared to actually do the program and if it turns out to be successful , I am quite nervous if I mess up someone's visit meaning, what if I write the wrong information or say something wrong to the patient, you know? Plus, for this program it is EXPENSIVE. I am a bit stuck on what to do. Any tips??

I honestly don’t like spending a lot of money on scrubs because they always get messed up (fiberglass, ink, etc) 🥴 I get Cherokee scrubs, my absolute favorite are the pants with elastic waistband 😍😍 a total must have.
