Graduating college with my associates in Occupational healthcare, I had majored in Medical Assistant. I had just completed 16 months in an accelerated program. The next step was to land a job. So I perfected my resume and I applied to everywhere that was accepting applications. One day a friend informed me about an opening she saw online that an OB/GYN office for a front desk position so I decided that I will apply for the job just to gain some experience in the healthcare field. Everything went well with the application process and the job was mine. I started working on the first day without any training but I had basic knowledge of the Electronic medical record they were using. Walking into the office as excited as anyone can be, I’m ready. One worker said to me “Trust me you …show more content…
As any other good worker, I ignored it. Time passes 4 Months into the job After observing my managers I knew I had to work really hard if I wanted to move up in this company, to prove to my coworkers who have been working there before me that I am a better worker. I overheard that once an employee would quit, they would move someone up to that position. I was working well and trying my best to gain their approval. However, one of the senior employees, he was not in any way a manager or supervisor, he would yell at me whenever I would give him his messages in the morning. So once after his outburst, I reported him to the practice owner and she made him apologize to me. His apology was as fake as the knockoff designer bags people buy in china town. My coworkers and him would just stand in front of my face and talk about me, While I worked they would just stand around and be on their phones. A year passed my working skills had improved immensely. Every morning I would attend the office early thinking no one would be there not knowing all that time my coworkers who “hates me” was in the exam room making over
In the beginning of fall of 2016, I got a job as a medical assistant. It’s long process to get this sort of job, at least with the University of Utah so when I finally went through the orientation, lab training, computer training, and community clinics I got to work and realized there was, even more, training. Every clinic has its personal preferences and rules, so I had to start from scratch with the training I already had. As soon as I got therenoticeI was a given a quick tour of the clinic and given all the rules, passwords and regulations. It was already too much to handle, but I was memorizing as much as I could. I can’t always function under pressure, but I tried not to let my nerves get to me.
I had just graduated high school and I wasn’t too interested in going to college. My plan was to enlist into the armed forces after high school, but I took things slow and decided I wanted to make a few bucks first. I had applied for Wal-Mart in late May and very much wanted the job. I called frequently to check on the status of my application and eventually they called me in for an interview. The interview itself took around three hours and I didn’t go home until about two in the morning. On June 10th, I got a call from Wal-Mart asking if there was any way possible I could go in the next day for training; I had been hired at Wal-Mart. Training was a fun experience with very fun and amazing people. I got paid 9.50 an hour, while I was in training as an overnight stocker; though my training took place in the day time. I thought that this was going to be and easy job. I have never been so wrong in my life.
Today must've been the busiest day I've ever experienced at this office. There were so many patients. They all waited at least 3 hours just to be seen by the doctor. The good thing is the office closed at noon so everyone usually was able to make it their shift at work. I got a lot of experience assisting in extractions. I worked with the same doctor I usually work with. She's very nice to me and always requests me when I come in to assist. I interacted with the hygienist, dental assistants (which were just pre-dental volunteers), and the front desk assistant. Everyone had such a good spirit today. There is a dentist that often acts as a dental assistant, which makes things easier because she teaches us about how to prep for procedures and
For two semesters of my junior year, I interned at Huntsville Hospital, shadowing nurses and technicians in many different areas of the hospital, including the emergency room and cardiovascular units. Oddly enough, I liked giving obese, old patients bed baths, helping them to the bathroom, and cleaning their bed pans. But, don’t get me wrong. It wasn’t exactly what I loved doing, but I knew it was part of the job, and I willingly did the dirty work. By the end of my junior year, I knew I loved the hospital environment and wanted to eventually work there; however, I just didn’t know in what capacity.
For the duration of this clinical experiences my intentions are to gain experience in leadership and develop those skills by establishing a partnership with R.K. She is currently teaching a leadership development course which I would like to develop a partnership with her and complete a community project.
As a nurse, I feel that at many times I am placed in a situation, where I need to use my leadership skills in order to provide efficient care by managing the limited time. According to CNO guideline, leadership is a process of influencing people to achieve common goals. It requires self-awareness and commitment towards profession, ability to delegate, manage time and to communicate effectively within the health care professionals.
...e irate I told him that this wasn’t fair and that I had been waiting a long time. What I didn’t expect next with a blatant racial attack – he called me demeaning name and said that people like me were meant to wait. Needless to say that I was infuriated and responded by saying that this was inexcusable and that I would complain to his supervisor, to which he gave me a little push, suggesting that I should go right ahead. At that point I had had just about enough and so got into a physical fight with him. Thankfully the security personnel who then asked me what the matter separated us. I explained to them in no uncertain terms what had transpired and the management responded by firing him right there and then. I felt elated and yet saddened that there are people who still think like that even today. What will happen next in my life, I can’t say. Only time will tell.
Its 2007 and I already took and passed my GED with flying colors, I needed to find a job and I really didn’t know much so I asked a friend of mine who worked for this guy named Frank. Frank had a business where he would install granite counter tops and tile floors, he was looking for someone to help remove and install the counter tops and tile. I was nervous I had never done anything like this before I was only used to either cutting grass or construction jobs with my dad that only pertained to nailing wood and sheets of plywood up.
I find myself privileged as I am the first generation from my family to complete Bachelor Degree. Therefore, "reaching perfection through adversity" is what inspired my journey of Physician Assistant studies. I am originally from small South-Asian country called Nepal, where I completed my High School education with science major. As a science student, I was always curious to know the cause, symptoms, prevention, and precaution of diseases. Unconsciously, I was trying to pursue medical profession. With a strong desire to help community and undeserved population, I got associated with organizations like: Red Cross and Rotary International during my High School education where I worked as a volunteer. These further strengthen my endeavor to pursue career in medical sector.
After over 15 years of working as a CNA and Caregiver, I decided that I wanted to continue my education in the medical field. In 2013 I took the first step towards gaining a better future with more experience as a medical professional. I enrolled into a Medical Assistant program at IBMC college of Longmont. It has been a long road and I am almost to the finish line having gained essential skills needed to move further into my career. It has been a grueling and eye opening experience for me being an adult learner returning back to school at 33 years of age. I persevered through these pass two years with courage and determination, never letting my short comings get the best of me. As I approach the end of my journey with IBMC I have realized that I have a passion for helping those persons who
One recent group I was member of was the trainer for newly hired medical assistants at work. The group consisted of 10 members. The 10 members each represented one of the ten doctors who practice at the clinic where I am employed. As a member of the team we were encouraged to train each new person hired as a medical assistant for each specific doctor. The training consisted of introducing the new hires to each department, familiarizing them with the daily tasks for the specific doctor the new employee was hired to work for, and helping them transition into their position. In some ways this team was similar to a mentorship program. The members were all encouraged to communicate with one another if there were any difficulties. We generally
I had applied for a job at Catholic Guardian society; in 2001 I did get the job. It was working with young girls in a group home, place there by the court. A group home is a place that children are sent to, once in foster care. A child can be in a group homes for many reasons; such as running away from home, not going to school and getting being arrested. I work every shift that was allowed, sometime doing doubles. When I started the job, I learn my way around fast. My partner was Michelle S.; she was great she began working there three years before me. Our primary job was to ensure the safety of these girls; their age would range from twelve through twenty-one. Our supervisor was great or so I thought. I soon realized that she was a horrible
I grew up in a research and development campus where my father is a scientist. Research and curiosity were constantly encouraged and this prompted me to take up medicine as a career, a field that offers tremendous prospects for research and discoveries. Throughout medical school I tried to be involved in research and attempts at trying out new ideas, be it in the lab or working with human subjects. I carried this through my residency and now my fellowship. The idea of studying a topic or issue that has so far not been treaded upon seems to be extremely exciting and challenging.
In one particular circumstance, on the second and final day of my placement, a patient entered the pharmacy to collect their prescription items. As the patient came in, the pharmacist told me that I would be responsible for giving the
During the on-boarding process, one of the human resources (HR) personnel, who thought had a power over my position as a registered nurse, disrespected me in front of the ancillary staff. Although there was some miscommunication with the managers about my employment, it was not my duty to inform this person that I have to be at work that day to be trained. I was approached by this person in a demeaning behavior; telling me that I should not be there and that he was not informed of my presence. However, his job does not entail anything to do with my position as a nurse. Instead, the director of nursing services has advised me to report to work to start my training with another nurse.
