Medical Assistant Diaries

I’ve been working as a medical assistant a little over a month now and I can say it has been complete bliss. I love my coworkers and the atmosphere is amazing it’s so worth coming to work each and everyday not to mention the experience I am able assist with a lot of hands on procedures such as birth control insertions and removals, early pregnancy testing, monitoring annual gynecology visits as well as gynecology surgery (pre -op / post op). I would say when working anywhere especially the hospital keep your integrity at its best with yourself, staff and patients. Allow yourself to maintain peace and sanity so stay away from drama, gossip etc because it does you no good to anyone and keep your head high this is not for the weak lol🩷#medical assistant #hospital #gynecology 👍Pros: lots of money
