I know this might be a random and personal question, but are you renting in an apartment? And how much is your rent? Trying to get an idea cause Im planning to move out this year.
Rachel can you please tell me the website name of your moms spa. I’m looking for a place I can trust to get a skincare treatment. Im nervous to go to a place I find online because I’ve seen so many horror stories. Thank you
A tip for working out/self care when u don’t want to: tell yourself “I deserve to be healthy, happy, clean, fit, etc” I deserve a good dinner, i deserve a clean body, etcccc
I start MA class in May and I’m 54 yrs old. I’m beyond excited; lifetime of office experience, some medical knowledge as I come from a long line of nurses.
I'm 41 and I'm getting ready to take medical assistant classes in August. I'm excited for a change in career I hope the classes isn't hard. I'm excited to work as medical assistant.
Kudos to you! I know you're excited. Likewise, start medical school in 8 days and I'm enrolling in the CCMA program. In the end I will be certified. Being certified speaks a lot of your credentials. When you're certified you're marketable and will have a range of medical facilities to work in. Wishing you happy learning!
And after you finish your program. Take the exam to become certified, You'll feel good that you did, then you'll have the credentials and companies would love it even more.
I've always felt drawn to healthcare, but was in school for my second choice, which was Elementary Eduvatuon because I knew it would be easier and I just didn't feel smart enough to be in healthcare. Finally following my dreams and will be starting MA school in January at 25 and then eventually furthering my education in another healthcare field. I'm nervous, but excited 😊
Omg same !! Former theatre teacher here but been in medical data for the past two years ! I start my Medical Assistant program in March along with the Pharmacy Tech program…..then after i want to travel with that job title & eventually become an Anesthesiologist Tech….I have a Bachelor’s in theatre & a Masters in Criminology but for some reason I’ve been so drawn into healthcare as well….BLESSINGS TO U & UR JOURNEY 💞
This may be a weird question but I am currently going to college and trying to figure out my future. What degree or schooling did you have to do to get this kind of job.
@@abigailbarnett3747 i’m currently doing the MA course online that my school provided for me at a free cost, but u don’t need to go to school for it just search up online courses or courses u can take in ur area, it only takes months
I work as a CMA with a Mohs surgeon and absolutely LOVE it! The hospital system I work for requires a medical assistant to be certified. However, the state I work in does not and providers can delegate certain tasks to MAs with direct or onsite supervision.
I'm about to begin my 12-week MA program & placed in a random clinical. This is great to give me an idea of what my life will look like once I do clinicals then begin working full-time.
For some resaons I always love when vlogs or videos are uploaded on Mondays! ❤ It always makes me feel so productive and motivates me to get things done.
thank you for sharing your experience! it’s so interesting to see more of a cosmetic derm MA POV! I am in derm seeing more of treating skin cancers, eczema, rashes, ect… you definitely give me comfort in not really going into nursing being an MA currently!
I have the Hoka Gaviota 3’s! I’ve had them for maybe just under 2 years and love them! I’m a student pharmacist in my final year on clinical rotations so I spend about 9-10 hours walking all over the hospitals and the when I’m in the outpatient pharmacies I stand literally for like 7 hours at a time and they’ve definitely been comfortable the entire time! Definitely worth the hype in my opinion. I bought mine from Dicks Sporting Goods and the store had like every single model there so I spent about an hour trying on/walking in all of the models to see which model worked best for me! My other healthcare friends also like the brands On Cloud or Brooks! Highly recommended being able to try on the different shoes/brands so you can get a feel for them before purchasing!
I was working as a CCMAin pediatrics, I've been a CNA and a pct, that's why I've been pursuing my degree into becoming a nurse; very rewarding! Thank you for again your video. Alot of people don't know how much goes into this job.
Great video!! I am considering switching careers to Derm office. I’ve been in IT and government for 7 years but, I have Hidradenitis Suppurativa and I have a strong passion for helping people. HS has fueled a fire in me to wanting to work in a derm office to help more people. Have an awesome day!!
Im a nurse in the hospital, I LOVE HOKAS, i wear them everyday. I have the Clifton 2's and i get so many compliments too, cause some people don't like how geriatric some of them can look, but they like how mine look, and i do too.
THANK YOU!!! You made my decision for becoming a medical assistant for dermatology. I've been wanting to get into the dermatology scene for a long time but just didn't know how to. So thank you.
Job responsibilities vary!! Something’s she does show I do as well as an MA in Derm, but sometimes there is a lot more too it! Examples are biopsies, light therapy treatments, procedures, injections, injection training / education for pts, acting as a scribe for the provider, gathering patient information. You get paid more being a Certified Medical Assistant as well as a better job title if the job offers it “Dermatology technician” Good luck to you! It is definitely fun and interesting, you learn something new everyday!
I’m a MA in Pain Management and actually got a degree in it! It’s not required but I needed my Certified clinical medical assistant and I got 3 other certificates with my degree! Always wanted to do dermatology loved your video ❤
Ok in my state and a couple of other states I lived in, you cannot work as an MA without graduating from accredited college and completing your externship. All the jobs I applied to before needed proof of your MA diploma along with proof of the accredited college that you attended, and your completion of an externship. There was only one state that I lived in that hired people who weren’t MA’s and trained them to take vitals etc. My previous clinic couldn’t find MA’s so they started to hired CNA’s to help room patients, but that was the only thing the CNA’s can do. They were not allowed to do vaccines, lab work etc. MA’s are really in high demand. My advice is that if you want to be a MA, go to school for it. Even if you are allowed to work in a state that doesn’t require you to have the schooling for it, you may not be able to work or get a job as a MA in another state that needs the required documentations. All except one clinic I’ve worked at would not take the risk of just hiring and training someone who was not an MA to become an MA to work in the clinic.
In December I’m starting my MA journey I’m so nervous but I know that my grandma is looking down at me with a smile. She was a LVN and my mom is a CNA. Love this video! Thank you for sharing ☺️
It’s so funny, yesterday I watched her moms day in the life of a dermatologist, and didn’t even mean to but watched this one today then recognized it was the same lady! Nice video
(Just a little bit on cerification or need for one)In regards to certification for MA's. It is state by state regulated and depending on the field/clinic. NCMA - Nationally Certified Medical Assistant is one of your possible certification available. Most big clinic/hospitals prefer certified. CMA- Certified Medical Assistant is also available plus others I'm sure. Being in the medical field is great, it can be very helpful if you get some basic understanding of the in's and out's of terminology and disease processes to help you in basic patient care. I liked the POV vlog, very interesting to see, thank you for sharing!
At home I use Costco as they're usually cheaper than Upside in my area, but once a year I take a 3000 mile road trip in my Prius from California to Texas and back and I use Upside the whole time. It's super helpful.
Wish upside was available in Canada. I take 14 supplements in a day also. Also where I live you need to have a diploma In Hospital Unit Clerk or Medical Office Assistant from a accredited institution in order to work in a speciality clinic or hospital. So interesting how different counties can vary things like this! 😊
Hey Rachel, thank you for sharing your ttc journey. I have been on the same journey for 2+ years and currently seeing a specialist. I was on the same boat with all the supplement intake. I currently switched over to bird & be and love it! It has all that you need, with the package I chose I take 7 pills. thought I might share this with you! Praying for you and wishing you the best of luck! ❣️🙏🏼
This video popped up in my suggestions. I am glad it did, I have been in school for medical assisting for a little over a year, and I’ve been looking for externship sites between dermatology and hospitals and I have a possible one in dermatology so this video is super helpful for me. Thank you! 🤍🩺
I'm a nurse and wear Hokas to work right now. They're great, but I think they are slightly overrated honestly. It totally depends on your preference and style of foot. I think I'll try something else next time. Truly love my Brooks the most so far.
Hey Rachel, I work in Physical Therapy and I own some Hoka One Ones Clifton 7s & I'd probs pass on them. Only because I've found them to be very uncomfortable as they have a high arch in them and make my feet sore. My new balance are waay more comfy and I wear those more often. I've also recently learned to look specifically for 'walking' shoes as they tend to be lighter. 'Running' shoes are just designed for exactly that.
Hi Rachel! I just want to tell you that I adore your videos and content. Is like you are an older sister. Thank you for create this safe space!!!♥️♥️🙏🙏 XOXO from Spain 💖
So, I start school for MA this month and my goal is to be a dermatology MA cause i am also a licensed Esthetician. My husband is in the military and with moving around MA is a high demand job within military hospitals. Your video helped me so much!
Im 41, i made a decision i want to be in the medical field and do medical assistant. Ive been doing logistics/supply work with government on base and when i was military and im just tired of all the heavy lifting of material and just the slow promotions and drama at work. Anyways, i hope i will enjoy medical assistant and im excited for this change. I just hope the classes isnt hard.
❤how u start your day reading your Bible and how cool to become the best due to working with your mom how cool is that! Great video. I was a dental assistant but thinking about medical assistant
How is it going so far? I want to go to school to be an MA for gynecology/obstetrics, even though I’m 27 years old so Idk if it’s to late to go to school.😅
I love the thumbnails they remind me "Ugh Rachel, how can anyone stay mad at that face?" So adorable lol. This was my favorite video out of the whole month because of the facts and basic Economics on the Micro level presented. The medical assistants being in high Demand means there is a shortage of labor within the medical service. That means employers will pay more for those who are willing to sacrifice their time to provide for society in the medical industry. Not only that Rachel, but services of all industries are the future of employment. Their demand will shift rightward for the next decade for all different careers that people want to pursue. Medical is one of the top dogs on that list, and within recessions, they will always be operating during economic downturn. Very educational and applying what we learned in school lol, we love you Rachel...no I love you on a Godly level❤so keep that chin up. Winter is here and I stay warm by seeing these thumbnails 🌟.
I love this video. 💗I'm currently in school to receive my NRCMA. I have been searching between the two fields and this video helped me out more. BTW I love how beautiful and clean this office is!!
I am not in medicine, I'm a teacher and I wear hokas often. I'm on my feet nearly all day. I also run and wear hokas the last two pairs, so my ones I wear to work are downgraded from my training
Hiiiii 👋🏼 New to your channel and I’m glad I stumbled upon it 🙂 if you haven’t already, are you willing to make a video on how your mom became a dermatologist and her experience? I’m currently an MA as well (going to be a yr this May) and I’m trying to figure out my next step in life..a bit clueless since there’s soooo many routes in the medical field and I came from a cooking background but I absolutely love dermatology and cosmetic related things. It’d be very much appreciated. Thank youuu in advance 😅😊
I am interviewing for an MA position at a Dermatology and skin cancer clinic tomorrow , Im manifesting the job as MINES . this is refreshing to watch thank you .
I'm thinking of changing careers. I really been looking at MA. I know its way lot better than driving jobs plus it's very good pay. I decided I want to get into this and get 4 years under my beltbanf get into Certified medical assistant. At least I'll be making good money and I'll be working in a clean environment mainly in a hospital.
Currently studying and undergoing a two year term through highschool to be a clinical/administrative medical assistant in a provides office/doctors office.
Was it hard to catch on as a medical assistant like the tasks you have to do for the day? Or did the school you went to tell you how to set up everything? If that makes sense lol.
Hy rachel.....i was eagerly waiting to get some knowledge about medical assistant...... fortunately i saw your vlog just now....and thank you so much for sharing your knowledge..... because i enquired related to this job many of my friends....they are unaware of this..... thanks 😍
My MA program does not have a clinical portion. So I would like to volunteer as an MA before getting hired. How should I go about reaching out to clinics? Any advice? Thanks 😊
Are you not certified? Yes medical assistant need to be certified in order to work in a facility with patients. Once they hire you they will see if your certifications are current and active. This is necessary because if you are working around patients and not certified that will put you and the company in jeopardy for law suits. That is why it is important to be certified. Every job I see are hiring active certified medical assistants. You are not certified because you work for you mother and she is giving you the opportunity to shadow to learn things. This is good, and will put you at an advantage but you must be certified. People don't listen to someone who is not certified. Do your research, gather adequate information and find your researched results. Companies are smart and will cover themselves and you as the employee.
@@RachelVinn Anyone who lazy enough to get certified can't talk credentials, but the experience. Ass backwards. You can't tell me nothing. Get certified. That's like one saying, I'm a doctor but your not credential but love to imagine being one. Get out of here. Girl Bye!
@@RachelVinn People love when you say all the nice things and sweet little talks about them, they even give you smile emojis and hearts, but the minute you say something you don't want to her you get negative. We'll you can keep your little hearts and emojis, don't mean a thing to me. Get certified and stop acting like you are. Believe me when you become certified, you'll have it under your belt. Otherwise, the vlogs are okay, your not certified and that's what's up!
Hey! Rachel I am really really looking forward to your vlogs so so much you are my inspiration and I wish you reach 100K Subscribers very very very soon!😭✨💞
Hi, I am very interested in becoming a MA!! I want to ask what you liked or disliked about it? How long it took for you to get a job after you graduated the program? And any tips or advice to give a new student as far as studying/taking notes/materials to have? Hope to hear from someone soon :)
Is it normal to feel overwhelmed when you first start? Idk what a lot of the medical acronyms means, and drawing blood I'm worried about because I don't want to accidently miss the vein a lot, or put an air bubble in a vein. Or how will I even know if I go through the vein completely?! Idk anything about any medications. I'm so nervous.
I feel the same way. I started at this new job two months ago with very little experience as an MA. My previous job was in clinical research so it was very different, so most of what I’m learning is new. I did draw blood before but I’ve gotten way better now. Trust that with practice it’ll get easier. We all learn at a different pace and you just have to be patient with yourself. The more you do something the easier it gets. The doc I work with has two practices but we do each on separate days. It’s a lot of paper work and little administrative details that I’m still struggling with because, even though we do not have that crazy amount of patients, each do require a good amount of paperwork and payments at least coming from the cosmetic side of it. I know I’ll get better with time, besides there’s only two MAs in the practice and one aesthetician 😅 Just trust the process and ask questions, write everything down so you don’t get as confused and have something to rely on when you don’t know what to do. Good luck!
