aw man.. i don't like when people aren't clear with newer workers and they expect you to know how to do things right off the bat. shoutout to all the people in healthcare that are communicative, helpful and welcoming towards the newbies. Im about to start my job in healthcare and im nervous about this. i dont want to mess up or feel like im incapable or breaking under pressure 😫

[@ukelilly]

I have terrible experience with this. . twice. maybe the 3rd time will be a charm. When training, they verbally tell you a ton of stuff, not slowing down. They say "don't worry. It took me 2 years ..blah blah" then gets mad at you when you're not doing things at their speed that they've been doing for 2 years + arghh.

[@SaileLopez123]

I started as a medical assistant 8 years ago, and my job was in derm, and I wouldn't say I liked it, so I understand your frustration. I'm going for my RN BSN and don't think I would ever work in derm. But be careful showing patients' names and always use gloves when cleaning a room ....HIPPA Law be careful

You will be fine! You are in school, I did not go to school for this! And plus things get better

[@authenticallyseriah7630]

I have definitely gotten used to it for sure. But sometimes it is very taxing. But I choose to look at it as experience

[@melanierios1043]

be careful to not show patient info in the Biopsy part i was able to see the name of ur patient

[@authenticallyseriah7630]

Thank you, I am aware. I have made several videos since. I was new to my job at the time and was not as cognizant.

[@Digitaldiarieseries]

Hi I also just started working in a dermatologist office … I know this video is a year old but this is literally me on my third week. I cried too over something so small . Any tips for me ??

Love the MA vlog... Did u went to school for MA and got hired from your externship or u working at a different facility?

[@authenticallyseriah7630]

Thank you for watching!!!! To answer your question, no I did not go to school for certification. I did go to undergrad and then applied on indeed after I graduated in May! You don’t have to be certified to become an MA.

@@deysybalverde1292 No, I am a non-certified MA, I received on the job training. Certain states do not require certification. I took advantage of that.

Hi are you a certified medical assistant or a certified clinical medical assistant? I can’t decided which to start going to school for!

Hi I am not certified. To be completely honest I do not even know the difference between the two. But I know that whatever you decide it should be the best option for you!!!
