Someone who actually showed and talked about the job itself. Too many people think a day in the life of a medical assistant means they need to show everything other than the job. Your channel definitely deserves more attention! 👏🏼
This video actually helped me with 2 questions I got on my nursing quiz last night. With what is the NST and progesterone shot. And I gotta say being an MA first helps so MUCH with nursing school. Im scoring higher than most. Just sayin if youre thinking of going for it
I am working on my RMA program right now, but the long term goal is to earn a BSN, so I'm so happy to hear you say that studying medical assisting and working as a medical assistant was beneficial to your nursing journey.
This is why I'm applying to be an MA while I'm doing my pre reqs for nursing!
I just learned something new
OBGYN seems like such a fun specialty!
Would love to see a series of everything a medical assistant should know to work in an ob/gyn office. For example, all the procedure, instruments, etc.
I love watching these at work videos. I'll be doing an MA program in the Fall at a local community college and I'm so excited! My last two required prerequisite classes end on May 22nd, it's been a long process but I save a tone of money this way. I hope to someday work in OBGYN. Thanks for sharing 😊
I'm going from behavioral health/out-patient psych to OB/GYN and I'm so excited to make the change!! This video gave me an idea about what daily life in the OB/GYN squad is like thank you 💕
I just graduated medical assistant and got hired! So excited since I start work soon! Your videos inspire me lol! Thank you 💕
💖💖
Updateee
how it going
Update?? 👀
Yay so happy you’re back!
I’m working as an MA at an OB office too to get myself through sonography school, but it’s so interesting to see how similar/different things are between other offices.
how did you get accepted into the sonography program? my college said it’s the hardest program they have at the school 😔
@@user-zf4yz2iu9s I found a school that didn’t have a long waiting list and worked as an MA for awhile to get some experience in the medical field. I’m not sure how it works in other states but I had to take a test and score high enough and then I had to do an interview and they asked me why I wanted to be a sonographer and why I would be a good candidate for the program. Do your research and find out what each program is looking for and then from there you can start preparing, don’t get discouraged if it doesn’t happen on the first try a lot of people have to try a couple times before they get accepted. Hope this helps 😊
@@camillemaestas2641 how was your interview process.. and did you get in?
@@marzaarza7030 it wasn’t bad it was a panel interview and they just asked why I wanted to do this and why I thought I would be good candidate. Because of covid it was through Zoom, and yes I got an official acceptance letter after that interview.
I am almost done with my externship at an OB/GYN office, and just got offered a job as a MA! I have been looking for a MA CZcamsr, and I am so excited I found your videos!!
Congratulations!! I remember when I finished MA school I was all over the place looking for MA youtubers to see how the job was like and I fell in love with it ❤️ then I decided to become what I was looking for and started making videos too. But good luck! Being an MA is really something else
What is not to love about this girl?
You're great Sophie! Thank you for showing us these videos about your job. I enjoy them a lot!!
Aw thank you 💖
I love the OB-GYN SQUAD shirt!
I have my first day as a MA Monday and this calmed my nerves! Thank you for sharing!
You are so welcome!
I loved watching your video! I just got hired at my dream medical office as a medical assistant. Watching this made me more excited to start, and help out others.
love these vlogs so much!! i love seeing the things medical assistants do, bc i’m a nursing student & i never knew how much MA’s actually do!! super cool
I miss OBGYN! I’m currently in pediatrics now! Love both specialties ☺️
I’m in a medical assistant program now and wanted to work in an OBGYN clinic , and this helped me a lot. I’ll be waiting for more videos
@tyra Beatty please where did you do your medical Assistant program ? Which state and college name?
The progesterone shot was a blessing for my third pregnancy. ❤️
So happy to hear that!💖
You're hair 😍 I hope your doing well! I love these videos ❤️ thanks girly 🥰
Aw thanks girl!!✨
Been an MA for 5 months and love it currently working in family practice and eventually planning on doing OB
I had to have the progesterone shots my second pregnancy in the back of my arm once a week and I balled my eyes out after the first one because I didn’t know how I would get through having to have one every week. Knowing they were helping to keep my baby girl in there and healthy was the only thing that got me through it. Those shots bruised my arms so bad and were like fire
I had them for my last two pregnancies but got them in my tush/hip area. I get my depo there as well.
Yay Sophie you are back! I missed your videos :3 I am currently almost finished with my first year of MA school and I am super excited for second year because it's where all the hands begin!😃 glad your back 💗
Woohoo!! 💖
That bagel is not burnt, it is perfect 👌 😋
I subscribed because of your divorce story!! I’m happy I found your channel babe!
I love watching your videos because I start Monday in school to be an MA and I really want to work at an OBGYN office! So I remember in one of your videos you pointed out that you were wearing some performance joggers that were a similar material, so you don’t necessarily need scrub pants? Just curious because I was gifted some money for scrubs and I know I’m a tad ahead of myself but I went out and bought some scrub material jogger pant at least to wear to school because they won’t have out uniform scrubs for the first two weeks and said we could wear something similar within dress code! I’m super excited and I’m also super nervous 🥰
Just recently joined your channel love watching these
I love your shirt !!! That is my future OBGYN RN 🤗🤗💗💕💕💕
This is so awesome! We miss you girl
I’m a new medical assistant! I really want to do OB-GYN but I’m currently about to start family practice.
I’m an MA working in a OBGYN office as well. Great video!!
Hey sis at my office when we draw up thick medications like testosterone we actually use an 18 gauge needle and then put the original smaller needle back on the inject with. Not sure if this is per your offices protocol but just a helpful tip! Love the video!
I do the same too. It’s faster
Love the video girl!
Im a new fan! I love your vlogs !
I'm a new subscriber and I love your content, i am currently an MA student and your videos are helpful 😊
Best of luck in school!
I’m glad I found this.. U were awesome! Make more.. I’m interested in this MA field .. U Rock girl!

@@MJCoachthecoach thank you
@@shadyfranco8881 You’re very welcome!!!!

Good for you!! You got this!!
I start training next week I'm so nervous but ready thanks for the video
There is an awsome ebook online that details so much, before and after school, certification, job tips, externships, dealing with staff and it has bounses included. Im currently a student and this book has been a God sent! Im ready to get out there and crush now I know what to expect. the book is on my channel so people can access it, the writer is not on youtube and I just want to help spread the work, good luck!
Thanks for this your video ❤️it's helps me a lot as a new OB assistant 💖
Thinking about switching from a patient care tech to a med assistant. Great video!

so on point. Really he
Ped give insight on what the job would be like.
Hey girl! Great to see another video!!! So I am finishing up my MA class and take my Exam in 2 WEEKS!!! I have not started my externship yet, but I have already been applying to jobs and have some interviews coming up soon! If you have any advice or tips for MA interviews that would be a great video to see❤️
Woohoo!! That’s awesome! Best of luck to you💖
That’s interesting, I’m an LVN and in California/the hospital I work for ,only license nurses are able to do nurse visits , depo, incision site check etc. OBGYN is a different world lol loving it so far. Great video 💞
I was a Mesical assistant in Illinois and we were able to do nurse visits, vaccine, depo shots, insulin etc. I was in a family practice
Every state has different laws for what a Medical Assistant can do.
We have nurse visits as well but MAs don’t do them since most of us are assigned to a provider but we do have LPNs who strictly do nurse visits and telephone encounters. It’s interesting how different areas operate.
I just got a MA job (OB/GYN Clinic and all lol) so I think I found the perfect video for me! I start on Monday so maybe this will let me know a bit about what to expect.
In the state of NY you are not to prepare the syringes ahead of time. You are to prepare it in front of the patient.
Pretty cool. Thanks for sharing this
Hi. This is very helpful to see what a MA in OB/GYN office does. I like to know how you clear the tray after a procedure that has sharps (needle, or/and dermablade/ scalpel). My provider added the dermablade during the procedure after the tray has been prepared and didn't get a chance to tell us. I missed it when cleaning up and should have put it in the sharps container. How do you go through all the "trash" bound material in a tray after a procedure and check for / pull out sharps . The provider did check with us after the tray has been cleaned and asked about it though. Thanks

Loooove your content 💓! I'm also a Medical Assistant, I work more with traveling than anything. I always thought I would go into OB but the little taste I had in externship made me change my mind lol. Now I just travel as a MA working with covid19, I also make videos about being a MA. 😊
Why’d you change your mind?
I am 41 now. I've always asked myself what I wanted back in college in the Philippines. I moved here to US for almost 3 years. I got hired last Dec 2021 as PsyTech but I didn't continue the 1 month training because I only have 1 kid and her school continued virtual but it made me realized I can do medical field but I am slow learner. I am now thinking getting Medical Assistant. I hope I won't have a hard time. What you are doing made more interested. Thank you for the video.
Did yoiu continue your MA
I graduate from MA school in a few weeks I have my clinical at an OB-GYN office I'm super excited but very nervous 😬
where do you go to MA school and how long is it?
@@vera-cv2yc I go to a community college in Chicago it's about 12 months
Congratulations
You go girl ❤️❤️
@@vera-cv2yc I went to a community college in Milwaukee. It was 7 months.
i graduated from MA schools a couple months ago but soo scared to do my externship i only have until next month to get one 😅
I love your hair colour
Quick question. How do you know which shot goes where for different medications?
Any reason you guys don’t use a vial access cannula when pulling back in a syringe?
I don't like most of these medical people but her I like. I would be very comfortable going to her. Great video.
Thank you!
BTW love your hair
Doing MA right now 🥰🥰💞
Really great! Best wishes!
yes nice 👍🏻
By the time I hit 29 weeks we started alternating my thighs in with the Makena shots😂 I was having reactions to the carrier and we had to find new injection sites. Booty hurts less than thighs though!
This is so cool! I’m an MA student almost off to my externship and soon after graduation. I have a question, when you first started your job, did you know exactly what to do? It might be a dumb question but I’m just nervous and curious if they show you what to do until you get it ? I’m also thinking of working in a OG-BYN clinic as well :)
I graduated on May 2020 and tomorrow I’ll be exactly one year at my GYN office :) But when I got there my coworkers would show me exactly what you had to do, the steps, instruments you needed, or doctor’s preferences. I’d say it’s important to ask questions and write things down. I learned pretty quickly that way and can safely say I’ve exceeded in my office and will be our clinical lead soon. :)
@@dianamendoza1828 thank you so much!! I’m super nervous to start my externship and I’ll definitely write notes down and ask a lot of questions and review my notes as well 🙏🏼 congrats !! I hope I can go further someday in the medical field as well 🥰🤗
@@teresatorres6084 yeah! And who knows, they may want to hire you once you’ve graduated since CMAs are very much needed. Not sure where you’re from but here they can hire us and we just have to do our certification exams within 6 months! I did the AAMA one 4 months after I graduated and passed :)
@@dianamendoza1828 oh wow that’s so good!! Yes here where I live I have to do 6 months of school and about 2 months of externship then I graduate :) I’m almost done and I hope they do hire me off my externship today I just got told I’m going to be working in pediatrics and that’s my dream job and I couldn’t be more excited for it !
@@teresatorres6084 that sounds great! You should defiantly use that opportunity to see if they would be interested in hiring you afterwards! I did the two year program. I didn’t know it could be done in less time until I had already started lol was it hard, since they have to teach so much I figure it would be!
Nice and educational, thanks. Is that an ADC stethoscope? You're very pretty, best of luck & greetings from South America.
Beautiful white angel
You’re supposed to inject air into the vial before pulling med out
Love your videos! 💗 How long does it usually take to become a medical assistant?
I’m in a program where it take about 6 months and 2 months of internship
I miss the days of doing obgyn I did it for 5 years and now doing family and internal medicine two completely different worlds
What’s the difference and what makes you like obgyn better?
Any tips for someone just starting as an MA because ill be starting my first ma job soon im super excited and nervous at the same time
I’m going to school for MA now
may i asked questions.. what's the meaning of OB/GYN.. my basic studies nurse assistant programs.. but i don't know about OB/GYN.. whether operational procedure or something maybe ... cause only high school vocational n i don't return on these programs.. many memories on these programs studies.. thanks
Nice
my certification exams start monday, and i want to work in an obgyn office 🥺 do you have any tips? also, i love your videos!
Are there jobs as a medical assistant during evening hours? Or is it mostly day work?
How long for school Medica assist?and How much acutly pay for finish program? Thank you.Sopie love love.❤
I recognize that area!
It was cool seeing a day in a life, checking into becoming an CCMA. But something to make you aware of and idk, maybe it’s just y’alls office protocol 🤷🏼♀️ but I have to be honest lol. I was cringing when you weren’t wearing gloves setting up. Because our cell phones can have a lot of bacteria.. there was some research about how a cell phone can have more bacteria than a toilet lol. So, as someone with autoimmune and have had fertility issues... just maybe be more conscious of wearing gloves during set up too. 💗
We all have an autoimmune system
@@dannyb213 yes, but I meant the condition...
What advice would you give a potential Medical Office assistant
Me @ 7:10: dang. those are some big Q-tips
I'm in my second quarter of MA school. I just found out I got placed in OBGYN for my practicum. Im excited and nervous
Exciting! Good luck, you got this!!
Yay that’s so exciting! Goodluck! I did mine at a geriatric office and I didn’t get half the experience you’re going to get!
I just enrolled, financial aid confirmed & all I have to wait on is my highschool transcripts to be delivered to them & see if I'm exempted from a mandatory entrance exam test & I'm very excited. You're going to do well I believe you!!; Good luck my luv 😘
I work in OBGYN and I love it 🥰
Can you help me? I want to become a full-time MA after undergrad, do I need to go to attend an MA program? Like is it mandatory?
I just had a job interview for MA in woman's health but im kinda scared lol idk why but woman's health seems hard? Ive only worked in primary care and gastroenterology
You got this! You’ll learn so much!
This shirt is the best! i work at an OB/GYN office as a MA too and would love to get a shirt like this! Where'd you get it from? :)
I’m honestly not sure! One of my coworkers designed them & then a company made them!
@@SOPHIADANIELLE okay, thanks for the reply! 😊
This may be a weird questions but I always assumed this job was mainly for people who wanted to become nurses but wanted this type of experience prior to starting their nursing school journey... I guess my question is is this something that people do as their career (is this your career or are you planning on doing something else)? I am considering doing this but didn't know if it's recommended to move up after so long or if this is something I would be able to do long term? Loved this video!!
Great question!! It’s a great job to get your feet wet in the medical field if you plan on going for nursing, although most people I work with (& myself) this is a life long career!
@@SOPHIADANIELLE awesome thank you for your reply! That makes me feel a lot better about considering this field as a life long career!
@@chelseanfoust girl same! I don’t want to go to nursing school... good luck xx
What's the schedule like for an OB/Gyn MA?
I’ve been a cna for 7 years, I went into law school and hated it, soooo I start my ma classes in three weeks.. I’m nervous , is this worth it? I need answers 🥺🥺🥺
It is! Good luck 👍🏻
Cool💖💖💖💖🦋🌈🐝💙
Hay quá
i’m in school to be a CMA and i’m really indecisive on what to do for my externship! i’m really interested in obgyn! do you have to do sonograms as a ma??
I work for a obgyn clinic and I don’t
Where is your shirt from 😍
One of the girls at the clinic designed it!! I’ll try to get more info for you!!!
😀😀
I am trying to decide between Medical Assisting and LPN. I think i would like working in a doctors office
I think you can bridge from am LPN to an RN if that’s something you would want to do but I don’t think you can bridge from an MA program. That’s for my area at least it may be different for you. If you are planning on continuing I would keep that in mind!
Both MA and LPN can work at doctors’ offices, but MA’s can’t work inpatient as an LPN would. That is something I would have liked to know before getting into MA school but I love it regardless. But if you want to pursue a nursing career, I believe LPN would be the best option between the two, even though both help big time getting to know patient care and the field in general. Good luck!!
How far do you have to drive everyday to go to work?
About 15 mins!
This seems like such a fun job! How is the pay?!?!?!
Hi everyone. I would really like to know from others why you would choose Medical Assistant over LPN route?
LPN job opportunities will continue to dwindle over time, as more and more nursing positions shift to require candidates with advanced degrees. At this point, it's sort of MA or RN.
@@waterbottle455 yes I’m going straight to RN instead of LPN. But now I’m considering getting my MA diploma first. 😩
@@soleiljolie70 I decided to pursue MA over RN first too! A lot of people disagree but I want to test it out before committing to RN. It’s okay whatever you choose to do! :)
@@waterbottle455 lpn’s are not going nowhere dear it’s a strategy for the schools to get their money. I was a lpn for 3 years just got my RN and I’m only making $2 more and I’m doing the same work here in TN. I don’t want yo do bedside nursing that’s why I got my RN to go in management but I didn’t learn nothing new in my RN program being a lpn taught me so much.
@@waterbottle455 This is not true lol
Do you actually give the progesterone shot or a nurse does that?
I do
Hello I have a question can medical assistant work part time
I’m starting classes to become a MA but I’m not sure if i still want to persuade becoming a nurse instead I’m thinking of becoming an ultrasound tech. Any things i should know before deciding what i truly want to become.
I know some ultrasound techs who love it!!
There is an awsome ebook online that details so much, before and after school, certification, job tips, externships, dealing with staff and it has bounses included. Im currently a student and this book has been a God sent! Im ready to get out there and crush now I know what to expect. the book is on my channel so people can access it, the writer is not on youtube and I just want to help spread the work, good luck! it also teaches you how to learn about YOU and what you want out of a career that was the best part for me, and the free guided journal!
How did you get this job?!! I really want to work as an MA in an OBGYN clinic. Any tips?
I had my clinicals during school at the OB clinic so I got hired on!
