I’m in my 30’s, been living on my own in Chicago while raising my son for 16 years. These past few years have been a challenge maintaining/building a career. So I’m moving back to my mom’s house so I can finally do what I have been holding back on…I’m back in school! Fall of 2023 I’ll start phlebotomy and medical assisting certification programs so I can get my foot in the healthcare door. From there, hoping to study a specialty like Respiratory Therapy. I don’t mind starting at the bottom bc I’ve been at the bottom in other aspects of life. This will be my stepping stone. Wish me luck!
Good luck! You’re doing absolutely amazing! I’m so happy that you were able to find a new path even though things didn’t seem to be going your way. This is your new beginning, so proud of you💜
🎉🎉🎉🎉
Im a 6 years MA getting pay $31 hrs. Its all about experience and location, yes. MA do not get pay enough, been there done that, started off at $11 at a private practice, but at that time the economy was not doing bad. In this economy right now 2023, I would not recommend starting fresh as an MA due to low pay right out of school and high living cost. Aim higher! But if its something you want to do and can afford the pay wages after MA school. Yes go for it! Being an MA is hard but I am, till this day, very passionate about my MA career. You will experience many emotion in this career & gain so many knowledge. Good luck everyone.
Agreed. I have 6 years experience and am salary at 72k/year, which translates to 35/hr. I'll be leaving this field shortly for PA or RN school. Already accepted into RN school, waiting for PA acceptance. Good luck everyone
Depends on where you are from honestly. I’m in the 75th percentile and it’s my first MA Job. So making 18.50-19.00 is pretty damn good I must say. Without a certification
Lol I did vocational training in 2012, was hired from my externship (mom and pop walk in family practice) at a whopping $10 an hour. I didn’t have bills to pay at the time and wanted experience so I stayed for a few months until I was fired lol stopped medical assisting from July 2012 until July 2019 (but maintained my certification and stayed in healthcare). I went into a private practice where they started everyone at $15 an hour (unless you knew someone) whether you were certified or not. I became close with a receptionist who ended up getting promoted to assistant manager of the practice, he vouched for me after 2 years of getting 30 cents raises, I was making $17.50 at the time I left (July 2022). Left them for a big hospital/university system, worked in urology/pelvic health for 5 months at $22.12, left them last month and am regretting it now. Now I work at Kaiser Permanente as a Clinical Assistant in Internal Medicine, it’s the same as a Medical Assistant but everyone I’ve met with my title at KP has never been a medical assistant, just CNAs/ techs. My location is chaotic and bad. I make $24.74 an hour and currently looking to either go back to where I was making $22.12 OR a place affiliated with the previous place that paid me $15-17.50 but in my new role coming back I’d be a Care Coordinator and they offered $22.60 - $23 an hour with quarterly bonuses of $5K. I am in Maryland.
Straight out of school I was making $25/hr
May I ask how? Do you work for an agency doing local contracts or something? Or a big hospital full time? I’d love to make that as a medical assistant. Do you have your certification?
I finished my program in the summer but haven’t found an MA job yet. I took a sitter job at a hospital though; I’m hoping to transition out at some point.
@Erica Woods I applied for a doctor office while waiting to take my NHA test and got hired. Plenty of the kids in my class is making that or more before we even took our test. Some of the kids were making $27 hour. The lowest from my class I believe was $23 an hour
@@MusicWich Wow! That’s great for everyone!
@Charnelle Williams New York
I will say that New York has an extremely high cost of living. $28/hr in a place where the average cost of rent is $4,000 is still low in my personal opinion. Now I would love to have that $25 in a place like Kentucky!
I recently resigned from my local hospital that I've worked for the past 18 years and was making $15.09
My new job 🙌🏾 is starting me with $18ish same city and state...
it all depends on the company or hospital that you're working for and if the area is busy or not, here up NJ which is close to NY city, medical assistant get 23hr to 28hr
Are those livable wages in that area?
This just discouraged me. 😞 I was going to do it but there is no money in this smh
What is your background? What is your end goal? Maybe you could use it as a stepping stone to get to something else!😊
Yesss girl you're glowing ✨️
Thank you girly!☺️🫶🏾
I need help learning to start my medical assistant career so far I’m certified in caregiving and I have also my medication technician certificate
@khloearchangel2562 that is amazing girl yes so your research.. I don't know too much about it. I only did caregiving for my grandma.
Most places take aspiring MAs as entry level to grow
@@chloearchangel do you want to be certified as an MA or do you just want to go directly into the field?
I have 3 years of experience and I make 16$ and hr and it’s definitely time for me to go back to school
Wisconsin here I’m in the 90th percentile.
I started a few months ago my ccma program. I'm trying to prepare to get my license. I saved the videos w/ the ccma exam questions xD
So it would be stupid to give up my CNA TO CCMA ...
Gorgeous
That pay is terrible. Especially if you got an associates degree.
Associates should make it even better for you.
Hey girl, do perhaps know which is better between a medical assistant and a home health aide worker in terms of pay?
I would say medical assistant as per the role played in the organization compared to overall compensation
@@user-zs7zm3yl9b Okay thank so much.
