i was wondering where you were all working while going to school. i'm working full time and doing pre reqs part time. i am currently doing marketing (going for nursing as "second career") and was thinking of applying to do clerical work in a doctor's office. perhaps to familiarize myself with the field and perhaps find an employer who maybe more flexible and understanding if school situations arise and maybe even learn a couple of things! :)
has anyone done this or have and thoughts as to why this may be a good/bad move?
I work for myself...which is really nice. I am a ebay seller and it's enough to pay the bills and eat....I'm not taking any lavish vacations and usually have to scrape by for books BUT I work my own hours...and can do as little/much as I want.
I'm another one who works in transcription but I am a quality assurance editor. I was a transcriptionist for 10 years and just started doing the editing this year. I like editing, just not transcription!
It is a great education. The way the industry is going though, I may end up a unit secretary before I'm done with school. :uhoh21:
I'm in the U. S. Marine Corps I will be discharged on Jan 11 2006 after 8 years of honorable service I plan to work evenings for a couple of months and then collect the my G. I. Bill while in the nursing program
i'm looking for medical receptionist/office jobs in the area but just can't seem to find any. i think it may be a good idea to work in the industry i want to end up in. we'll see!
