Let me just say that everyone makes mistakes.. I made a big one.. I understand that. I AM SORRY....... What else can I do.. YOu can't change the past, but I am changing the future. By not doing it ever again... Give me a break.........

Hi All, Does anyone know a good website to buy scrubs from? Or even a store in CT? I only know of work and gear.. I am not trying to pay $25 for a shirt. I want a good quality scrubs, that are not that itchy material.. But affordable. Is that too much to ask for? I like the unisex scrubs, that have the tie waist. Any ideas? I have tried some like Allheart.com, and Jasco scrubs, and others. Give me anything you got? P.S. Anyone have UA scrubs? I was looking at those, and they look ok.. Get back to me ASAP....... Thanks......

I am a Medical Assistant who is currently a certified nurses aide... I have been taking a class here and there for my medical assistant certificate program.. In May, I will be finished with the 5 classes and get a paper, stating that I did my classes. Then I get to go for my Certificate from the state. I am worried about the test for the state... I am not Great with school, and well lets be honest.. Its been a long time since I started the classes for this.. So I am questioning whether or not, I will pass it.. My main question is, what would be the difference if I were to get the certificate or if I didn't get it.. I know that I would be certified, but are there any perks... Please give me any advice you can..

Well, I read ALL that everyone wrote to me. The good and the bad.. I didn't go and say to my boss that I did this and that.. But I know she knows.. I can just tell. I took a certain someone's advice and just taking my time anf doing my best. This person also explained the reason for vitals and etc. Now that I know exactly what they are for, I know I won't just write down a number ever again.. I kept thinking to myself, when I was checking in the patients this morning. Do I want to be the cause of their problems.. I would feel horrible if something bad had happened to any one of the patients.. So THANK YOU all for the advice and opinions. They are being taken into consideration........

I just don't want to lose my job.. People here have been saying if it was them, then I wouldn't be working here anymore.. I am pretty sure I won;t get fired, but they are scaring me.. So I am thinking I might take the wekend to think about it... Then see what happens on Monday...

Now that I hear what everyone has to say, I am not sure if I should say anything about what happened.. I mean, I have been here in the office all afternoon, and the doctor or nurse has not said one thing to me about it.. Its as if it never happened.. Then when you guys are taking about falsifying medical documents.. It makes me more unsure of whether or not I should come out and say what happened...

I took your advice, I decided to go and let my boss know the mistake I have made.. Can you please read what i wrote, and see if its ok.. I am looking forward to what you say..... Thanks for your advice

I need to speak to you on a very serious note.... Recently I have made a very big mistake and I need to get it off my chest... A few days ago, on one of the very busy afternoons, I had a lot of patients that I had to get moving so that everyone would be on time for the rest of the afternoon. But to keep this short, I was in such a rush to get all the patients ready, that I made up the B/P and o2 for a patient. Now I know that what I did is very wrong, but it just seemed like it wasn't a big deal at that moment.. Then when everyone was done and nurses hadn't asked me if I needed help or if everyone was ready, I just felt like I had it under control. That made me feel soo much better about being stressed lately, because It wasn't affecting my work... Then the whole car accident situation and me and my boyfriend were having a difficult time. It all just seemed like no big deal. I know that being stressed out of work is no reason at all to do what I did.. Trust me, I know that.. But I didn't want a certain someone, to think that it was affecting my work. But it was..listen. I have to admit, that I did it again today... It wasn't my intention.... But when the patient was here for Dr. *^%#^, he was really late, so I was trying to move as quickly as possible. Then I did the EKG and B/P and realized I hadn't forgotten his o2 and instead of getting the machine, I just wrote a number down.. Later I heard Dr. *^%#^ double checking it, so I knew that it was out in the open what I did... Listen, I feel REALLY bad about this whole thing. That is the reason why I sounded down on the phone today.. Because I made the same mistake.. I just HAD to tell you what had happened.. It was killing me knowing and keeping this to myself. I can promise to you that this will NEVER happen EVER again. Please believe that this was a horrible and stupid mistake.. I take responsibility for this situation. I just want to make things right. This is what I wrote to my boss..... GIve me your advice on it.. SHould I change anything?? Or say anything else???????

I work as a CNA per diem. Where I work, it just means that I pick up 3 shifts every schedule... So me, I work a M-F 40 hour job as a medical assistant. But on the weekends I pick up at the per diem job... Check with your job, but if I work anything over the 3 days I am supposed to work, it counts as a bonus day. Which is like time and a half.. I usually get paid like $10.50 an hour, so when I do bonus days, its like $15 an hour.. Hope I helped...

Hi Melissa, I am a medical assistant as well for a multi specialist doctors office, and I am also a nurses aide. I find that the nurses aide is more hands on, like working in a hospital with patients directly, and in the office its more hands off. Just visits whenever.. But anyways, I also want to look into nursing.. I didn my research. First you have to chose th school you want to do nursing at. Then get your pre requisite courses, like human biology and chemistry and etc.. Then once you have those pre requisite courses you can do the nursing.. I am gonna do a 2 year associates degree in science. That will make me a registered nurse.. But I will need to take the test first. But you get what I mean.. You can do 2 or 3 or 4 years for the RN program.. I am deciding if I can go full time, or part time.. I am not that into school so I think I will go part time, so I can REALLY concentrate on each class and do well.. It will take me a little longer but its ok.. So to anwer your questions. Find the school, get your pre classes, and then sign up for nursing..

I personally feel that I like what I do here in this office. I run the office, its what I say.. People look to me to run everything.. But I just feel that with EVERYONE wanting me to do everything all at once, it was a quick and easy way to make everyone happy. When I saw, what I thought was the positive outcome, it became a thing... Checking in 5 patients was nothing.. Weight and height then make up the rest.. But I am not sure why I would of made the same mistake after feeling like crap from yesterday when I 1st got caught. I guess habits are meant to be broken... I just want to forget this whole situation.....

I made up the vitals cuz in my office, there are about 4, 1pm patients who walk in the door at 12:45. I help check them in, insurance and etc.. Then I get them ready.. Maybe its not every day that I have 4 patients but there were alot tp check in and have ready for the nurses and doctors.. So one day made up some vitals.. And they made me feel like superwoman, for having everything under control and doing everything soo fast.. But in honesty, it was a lie.. Ever since, then i just been making the lie worse, by continueing to make up the vitals.. Its like once you tell a small white lie, it grows into a huge lie, and now look where I am.. I am soo nervous, of someone confronting me on the subject... What can i do now?

Hi.. I am a medical assistant. Usually I am really good at this. But for, I am not sure what reason.. I have been making up blood pressures for babies, and children and also the oxygen levels of most patients... Yesterday I got caught. The patient had asked the nurse if someone was gonna take her childs b/p and o2. She said the assistant already did.. The mom was like, NO she didn't ... Then the nurse asked me if I did, I said yeah.. Big mistake.. I am not sure why I lied, or even made up the vitals in the 1st place.. Then today, I did the same thing.. I made up the 02 for a patient.. I put 96% and I guess the patient was admitted to the hospital recently, and needed 02 help.. So he was curious to see what it was.. When I had 96 he was like wow.. Then listening to his lungs, he decided to check it himself.. It was only 80%.. He hasn't said anything to me, but I heard him talking to his nurse, whi is somewhat my boss.. I am not sure what to say or even think... I just feel ashamed.. Especially thinking what are they thinking about me... Like that I am a bad worker.. And questioning my past work. What should I do to make this right.. I am not going to do that ANYMORE, and I will be making sure vitals are done on everyone. But what if I get asked about the situation what can I do or say????? Please help me..........
