I’m an RN now, but 20 years ago I was an MA for 5 years! That makes me sad that the nurses you worked with were so mean to you. I’m transitioning to working in a OB/GYN office, after being a labor and delivery nurse. I really hope that kind of culture is not at my new place! I will NOT be a part of that. I was the same way in the hospital. No one is better than anyone else!! We are all on the same team.
I’m actually leaving. I’m burned out. I make $17.15. I don’t have regular offices hours, I go in sometimes at 7:30 and don’t leave till 6:30 or 7:00 at night. I have kids that are still in school. I’m just done and over it. I think it’s something that I could maybe get back into but right now I’m just done.
@@SOPHIADANIELLE I can’t even think about going to another office right now. I know an ortho office wants to hire me for 4, 8 hour days, have off on Thursdays. To be honest with you I’m thinking about going back to my old retail job at kohls, getting close to the holidays and I’ll get good hours. I think taking some time off would be good for me.
you are right, those who study even for short time should get paid higher than the minimum. we basically pay a lot for the program but you you will just end up at minimum rate. that's why im contemplating whether I'll just work in retail store or join a paid program. can't decide!
Correction on PAY as an MA... Pay depends on location. Even in the same state, it depends on the size of the organization. Here in Minnesota its starts at $19. Think of it as, "experience makes you better as a professional staff."
omg girl im so glad i found you, i want to become an MA but use it as a stepping stone to focus on my own boutique and also having a book blog, but i want to use it to bring in extra income for my hubby and i
I just finished clinicals and am transitioning into my MA I role at a family practice. I personally wish I switched to peds but I have to stick with them for 6 months. Also the pay is okay. My trainee wage was $18.85 and I was just offered $20.60.
Idk what my teacher had to have besides being RMA, but I kno she could only teach MA. Our school had an LPN program and she said she could not teach that because she was only RMA.
I work in Tigard, OR at a Dermatology Clinic. I now make $25 starting:) you just have to tip toe around and find a good place that will take care of you😊 Oh God...the insurance section = why I know I won't be able to pass it😆
As a new MA in a OBGYN clinic like 2 weeks in What advice do you have for me as it seems overwhelming with 50 to 60 patients a day. Seem like it all gone be impossible to learn as to the information we have to give the patients?
It varies by where you live! I’ve seen a lot of different pay ranges. Texas pays traveling MA’s $52 an hour!! (Just what I’ve seen on indeed and idk what their cost of living is)

I would be burnt out, too! I work part time now at a private practice and its much better! Pay is better too.

Yeah you gotta do what’s best for you! Keep up with your certification and you can always go back!
@@SOPHIADANIELLE that’s right.

Omg girl missed you. I don't have any other social media so I was kinda wondering what you were up to.
I did an extern in Derm and loved it

As far as pay, do you think CNA or CMA is better? I am looking into becoming either one, but i want to see what benefits outweigh the odds.
I think CNAs can make more with night shift/ over time. But CMA is better working hours
CMA
im finishing my MA degree this fall, I only have four classes left! I'm hoping this video doesn't discourage me to not want to work as one lol
Ahh I missed you!!💕
Missed y’all! 🥰
Are you going to keep your CEU’s up just incase you want or need to be an MA again?
Yep I am! 10 credits every 2 years!
Wow that’s nice. I have to have 30 every 3 yrs and pay 130.00 every year. I’m RMA through the AMT!
Yay missed ya
Missed y’all!!
@@SOPHIADANIELLE you should do a more in depth Video about your online shop!
No that’s disgusting MA deserve a livable wage. I see why there’s a national shortage of MA.
It varies by where you live! I’ve seen a lot of different pay ranges. Texas pays traveling MA’s $52 an hour!! (Just what I’ve seen on indeed and idk what their cost of living is)
this girl is cute asf man
I just quit my MA job as well! I ended up really disliking it so I’m planning on going back to school for something in education 🤍
Why did you dislike it?
