Thanks! Yes, I was offered the position at the cardiology office. Its a big decision, possibly life altering! I need to decide by Friday !? Was never expecting this! At least I know I must of impressed someone lol! This is so nerve racking..I hate turning people down. Can I say to the Cardiology place if I decide to go with the hospital that at this time it would be difficult for me to make it there that early due to transportation issues, but to keep me in mind? I dont know if they would want me in the future after I turn them down..IF I do?! I dont want to make the WRONG decision!

Hi there, Yes! I must say that's quite the pickle you're in! The best advice I can give you go with your gut instinct...it won't stir you wrong. May I offer you some advice? When in doubt, ask in prayer and generally you will be given a sign as to what you should do. Is the job at the Cardiology office full time and do they offer insurance? I still think the Hospital would be the best place for you. Whatever direction you decide to take I will support you all the way, in a manor of speaking. If it helps talk to your parents about which job they would take. Good luck...keep us posted, Matt...

Yes the Cardiology office is full time and there are benefits. The cheapest benefits are like $60 something every two weeks, however, you have to spend a bunch out of pocket, before the copays even start to kick in. Yes believe me I am praying for a sign so I know what to do! I think they probably would say the hospital, but one reason would be the distance. I tried to find out about the benefits at the hospital by calling the recruiter. She said I will find out Tuesday when I go for my physical (that helps..NOT). I think she was a little annoyed about the other job offer..buy hey, I was trying to look at my options. Its hard to compare the two completely without knowing the details. The women at the hospital was saying something about full time benefits are 80/20 and part time 90/10, but I wasnt sure what that meant. Also she said you have to wait 90 days to bid, however, if its from part time to full time you can do so right away. I wonder if thats true and if it would have to be on the same exact floor though? I just wish I had more information to go by.

Hello, The insurance thing will drive you crazy if you let it. I still believe you should take the job at the Hospital, because they did hire you first. You said the Cardiology office is a lot further away from your home, how you going to get there? If you are going to take that job at that Cardiology office, maybe your mom can drive you there and as you get to know people there; maybe you could work something out with someone there...it's just a thought. Take care, Matt...

I am going to probably have to take the hospital job...(just feel silly and annoyed) because my mom insisted I go to the cardiology interview but now she pretty much wont take me. I was going to pay her of course, unlike some other people. Hope it works out though...I will !!!!!!!!!

Hello, It will just keep the faith...your mom is a smart woman. I know you'll do great. There will be Medical Assisting job's down the road. When the time comes you'll have more experience. Be one with force! Have a great week end, and tell your Mom Happy Mother's Day...Matt
