  1. Medical Assistants in the office

    am27 replied to SHELLYBELLYRN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I'm just repeating myself AGAIN: nobody is saying that medical assistants speak on anyone's behalf. They are relaying messages that are already typed/dictated and electronically transcribed. Nothing...

    am27 replied to SHELLYBELLYRN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Yikes. You sound like such a pleasant Polly! Most clinics are not privately-run these days therefore a physician does not have much say about staff. Perhaps a more effective route would have been...

    Maybe it's time this thread is closed. Posters keep commenting and arguing the clearly defined job duties of a certain healthcare professional and their personal beliefs are creeping in the...

    so so sorry for you all that get so upset by "zealous MA defenders" haha. Get some

    am27 replied to SHELLYBELLYRN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    The MA doesn't need to know anything further than what is being relayed by the provider. If the patient has further questions, the MA documents the patient's concerns then directs a message back to...

    am27 replied to SHELLYBELLYRN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Medical assistants are responsible for "clinical messaging" aka relaying messages back and forth between provider and patient!!! That's all! There's nothing more to it so why make mountains out of...

    s/he was not going beyond her scope if that's what the provider instructed him/her to do, which is what I gather happened. It's unfair that everyone is accusing this MA of coming up with that on her...

    MAs can be trained on the job for anything within reason. Which makes sense with all of the various specialties and increasing amount of in clinic procedures. And I can't even think of a scenario I...

  11. Is this possible?

    am27 replied to KatFUTUREnurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&P I and II at the same time so I could hurry up and start nursing classes. I just needed permission from each instructor. I would look into it! It wouldn't be any more rigorous than...

    am27 replied to SHELLYBELLYRN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I was talking about the LVN's posts and a community college around her that offers an AD in medical assisting because I am pretty sure there

    Century College, Anoka-Ramsey, Anoka Tech, Hennepin Tech. And those are just the ones I could think of and looked at the sites really quick to make

    I could give you plenty for Minnesota. But I could find one in your state or any state you want me to. Be more

    am27 replied to SHELLYBELLYRN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Medical assistants don't lack a scope of practice. I've already pointed out your statement that nurses can work everywhere a medical assistant can but the medical assistant can't work everywhere a...

    Look for websites actually associated with a school, not the first that comes up in Google search (medicalassistantschools.com)

    am27 replied to SHELLYBELLYRN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I'm from Minnesota. Many (if not all) community colleges in the metro offer an AAS in medical assisting. I just looked online for a AD in medical assisting program in Texas and I found one at San...

    I'm not sure, I don't have an associate's degree in medical assisting. A medical assistant and a nurse are two different things. Perhaps someone wants to be a medical assistant and not a nurse, which...

    am27 replied to SHELLYBELLYRN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Those are online for-profit schools!!! There are the same types of programs for nursing which is just an option to a local community college (or university for BSN)!! Not everyone pays that much to be...

    "I'm curious, why would you spend the time and money getting an Associate's degree in medical assisting, when you could get an Associate's degree in nursing and make 2-3x the salary?" I don't know,...

    am27 replied to SHELLYBELLYRN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    That's a private for-profit school that I wasn't even considering, aside from the fact that I don't live in any of those states. Every community college that I know of offers an AD medical assistant...
