I would say see how working and going to school works out for you. Im in the same situation im got bumped to pharmacy (not by choice) recently in an hospital. noone really has given me A CLEAR IDEA OF WHAT MY SCHEDULE WILL BE. Or I have been given ma...

Hi! Thats cool someone who will be starting with me. Long story but I have an A.A.S. in Medical Assisting from Trocaire (graduated from there in Dec. 2010). I wasnt happy with the lack of hands on training. I was at Trocaire for a few years. I starte...

I live in the western new york area, and our tuition is 8300 (for where Im going). 9,200 with books, supplies and a review class. Idk what supplies are included. Thats NOTincluding uniforms Im pretty sure.

Hi, I am on the October list for Erie 1 BOCES LPN program. Orientation is September 10th. Can anyone tell me what to expect the first few weeks? How far into the program do you start clinicals and how far in advance do you know where you are going? A...

Hey, I am really not sure what Im doing about my job at the hospital because as of now they cant keep me part time and guarantee my days off for school. Now Im not even sure if per diem would even work out. I didnt realize they can schedule you eveni...

I am currently signed up for October Days at Southtows Academy wish they hadt at Potter during day like they use to. Im just not sure what Im doing about my job and I need to have it figured out somehow very soon! Maybe Ill start looking over a&p...

Where do you work if you dont mind me asking? Now I finally found out that I can go per diem but I wasnt aware of them being able to schedule me evenings/overnights Now Im back to not knowing what Im doing. What kind of rules does your company have?

Anyone going to BOCES now can you tell me what to brush up on maybe to start reviewing? I have taken a med term class in the past and have index card. Also have my certified medical assistant review book. Also what materials did you have to buy? Pape...

Long story try to keep it short as possible. Graduated with an A.A.S. in Medical Assisting in Dec 2010. I really felt I got cheated for all the $ that college got out of me and I really got no hands on experience etc. Anyways I really thought Id be m...

I am yet again frustrated. I didnt realize if I went per diem they could schedule me evenings and nights too...now I dont know what to do again. For a second thinking I might actually have something worked out and now probably not!

Congrats! Cant wait until Im where you are!

How far are you into your program? I am/was having the same issue. I was told yesterday that they will be able to make a per diem position for me. I hopefully will find out more this week about it becasue Im not too familiar with per diem. I just hop...

Im probably going to try to stay on the day list if I can. Im not even sure what spots are left if any for day or evening. Also my thing with the evenings is that Potter is closer to me (and in the evening) but, half way though the program they switc...

So I took it upon myself to talk to the "bigger" boss (bosses boss). The boss that is always around that I talked to originally, said she wouldnt see her boss for two weeks so I just left him a voicemail last night and he called me today. He seemed n...

Thanks everyone! Im going to try my hardest to make something work. Im just hoping where I am now can work something out with me though. I work for a big healthcare system and I was hoping to keep gaining more senority so when I graduate from LPN if ...

Thanks but I really dont think that job would be for me at all. I really want to keep my foot in the door where I am now Im praying for something good to happen! Stuff like this always seems to happen to me.

Hello, Well Im on the October list to start school. I pretty much have my financial aid in order for the most part, but Im afraid my new boss will give me a hard time with the schedule. I got "bumped" out of my old position and started traini...

I just typed a reply and it didnt go through I guess grrr..lol but here it goes again.. Thanks for the info! I really have to talk to my new boss asap just kinda afraid to. To maintain my position I would have to work my 2 days 7-3. Now Im not sure w...

Hi. When did you start? Are you days or evenings?I kind of know someone that started in April evenings. How is the program and is it doable? I have an A.A.S. IN Medical Assisting from Trocaire (havent worked as a MA exctly but have been working at a ...

Hey Im from Buffalo,NY. Where did you go to school? I was wondering about pay around here etc., but you always hear different things. Right now I work at Mercy Hospital. I went for Medical Assistant at Trocaire and graduated in Dec 2010. (not the bes...

"If you cannot afford to go full time without working, don't go!". Did you mean dont go to school full time if you cant afford not to work? I dont know how other programs are, but the one Im looking into (already on list), you have to go to school fu...

I guess everyones program may be different amount of days etc. so I guess that has to be taken into consideration.

I was wondering the same thing. I wrote another post about my concerns etc. Um I got bumped into a different position within the hospital I work in and I really dont know my newboss too well. I was trying to sit down and figure something out but its...
