ok, so I have been in healthcare for over 8 years. I have administrative experience(referrals,check in/out;surgery scheduling and now insurance billing) My question is:

1.- do you think that makes me more up there on the list to being excepted(having been in the medical field, but no clinical)

2.- would it be wise to get my CNA??

I know that different schools look at different things for accepting students and this is one of them(medical experience). Is my 'medical experience' considered to be in the category of their medical experience, in your opinion. hope no one is confused:):):wacky:

    Good day, mbtsab:

    I'm sure your experience would give you a plus in a number of classes; though clinical experience might add more weight. Since, as you shared and know, every school is different, results will vary. Even if such experience was not a determining factor for getting into a program, keep in mind, your experience will help you in the prerequisites which can get you in the door.

    Thank you.

    I think that all depends on each individual school. But direct patient care would help you out more in the long run. So becoming a CNA definitely wouldn't hurt. The experience you have now will help you with terminology, and knowledge of coding, procedures, etc. And that certainly doesn't hurt your case either;)
