If you're looking for stuff to help refresh your mind, you tube has some great stuff to watch on any Medical Assisting items you might be lacking in. There is also all kinds of information on the internet as well. I hope that helped. Take care...

Re: refresher courses/videos

Yes I am at the hospital still (for now?!) It will be a year the end of next month. I have been looking on the website though for full time job openings. Unfortunately, the hr people arent always the easiest people to get a hold of (some of them arent very helpful either). I wish I would of got a call about an union position full time in an obgyn office.I kept on checking the status and kept hearing nothing was going on then all of a sudden its down and was told they probably hired someone. Then I applied for this full time (non-union) full time ma position. I did interview with this manager b4 for a part time position shortly after graduating...I dont think they hired anyone right away (probably hired someone with more experience). However, she did email me back and have to let her know when I am available next week yikes!Would feel more confident if I got more experience with vitals etc in school. Maybe Ill try to practice with my cuff I always feel like I do it akward though (cant always hear it). Just wish it was union (Im not sure how that works how they decide what facilities are union or not. The pay starting would be 13.42 (I make 14.29 now...after a year would be 14.70). I couldnt get a deff answer if I would possibly be started out higher since Ive been with Catholic Health (even though this other place isnt union). Hr said the manager should base it on what they think your experience is. I mean I am not guaranteed this job, but who knows when the next full time opening will be within the Catholic Health system. I mean this place might not be the best to work for but idk...
