  • What are some of the pro's con's of being a medical assistant? I'm looking for a career change but before I dive into the schooling would love to hear from other people ...show more

  • Answer:

    i am currently going to school for it, and it is not hard, but you need alot of blood pressure practice and blood draws. like i feel like i need additional time for blood draws because that term is already over so i am attending workshops outside of class time so i can be more sure of myself before i get out there. and there are externships, they hook you up to work with some medical offices right before you graduate and if they like you they will hire you, after graduation you apply on your own or you can get help by the counselors. plus the stats of someone getting hired on externs is 90% at my school. med. assistants are in high demand. the cons however is that you have to clean up any bodily fluids such as pee, puke, poop, blood that may fall on the floor, not bedpans or changing diapers bcuz that is a nurses assistant but all of the other messes that can occur. it is probably mostly puke.
