Jodi in Indianapolis, Indiana said: Your crazy. Yea I went to school and it was Cleveland Institute of Dental and Medical Assistants I got the RMA 92 was my score you needed 70 to pass and 100 was a perfect score and yes i did go to all the hospitals, urgent care 12 temp agencies and bugged the hell out of the placement director called every week for over two years and still nothing I had the skills and they wanted job experience and i could not get hired on my externship because it was the free clinic and they don't hire people oh yea did I mention i have a BA communications and AA Business Mangagement and could not get a job any where even washing dishes this is from the great state of Ohio so yea there may be one or two of you who got jobs but the rest of us didn't have a chip on the shoulder we just want to work and pay our bills so be more humble when you read our stories and i got A,B,C, in school and still am out of work did every thing now i owe over 2thou in loans...the great american dream |

I could not even get my foot in the door I would have even taken $5.15 to do the job did my share of volunteer work which a lot of girls didn't do I didn't expect top pay just a chance to do the job which i have been out of school for over 4 years had to find work else where home health aid and washing dishes and yes i do have a 4 and 2 year degree so I am humble just can't find work yes there is a waiting list to wash dishes at most of the restraunts if you don't starve first yea the american dream get an education and not be able to find work when you are done a few one or two will but the rest of us worked just as hard trust me i got a 92 out of 100 on the test for RMA and did the other girls work for a year and half and could not get hired any where so go figure so had a break and they should be greatful because the rest of us were not so lucky... |

thats good that u are not messed up with starting out with low pay. but alot of girls are and i heard them mumble alot of times about it. I didn't care and i sent my resume out every where and took what ever. That is how i made it and through a agency. a lot don't try. only thing i can tell u is to try and don't give up. plus my response was addressing someone else who was speaking on how others were complaining and i know the ones who can't get hired feel so i WON'T knock them.i been there |

Jodi in Indianapolis, Indiana said: Your crazy. JODY, Do not call us crazy, How dare you! You are not living our nightmare.My school was accredited. promised 100% job placement for life. I, along with 6 friends I met at school do not have a job yet. Our school ignores us! Yes, we try hard every day ourselves, you are the crazy one! READ ON ! There are so many of us that have been lied to, We are angry enough, we don't need your harrasment. You do not understand. you are ignorant of the situation going on here. I apologize for your heartless comments! I suggest everyone ignore people like you, we need to band together, John lets go! You are 100% correct, I am sorry for her ignorance. She does not understand. C.B.S. news, 60 minutes did a story on this subject! There is a guide on this site, her name is Linda, from Ohio, L.C. are her initials, she posted the 60 minute link, go there, click on the link, be informed before you go calling people like us who have been scammed, crazy! You should be ashamed of yourself, When people are asking for help, they should not be called crazy. We all went in to this field because, we care, we want to help others. I still believe there are so many negative issues in our world today, why not vent your feelings on one of their sites..... The war, global warming, etc... go there, not here.cbsnews.comstories 2005 |

I did not have to get a loan, they took my cash payments! In order for you to have recieved federal funding, your school legally should have told you, in writing, there graduating statistics. Did anyones school do that? We should write to 60 minutes, and ask them to do another. Write to your state. The Department Of Education, should help out, especially if you did not recieve this information. Tell them what the school promised you, and any thing else you know, and we know a lot! Please e-mail and tell me what you thought of the article. I was very angry too. Call the Better Business Bureau, and report your school. We might not get our money back, BUT, we can take away some of their numbers. We could also legally picket, right out in front of our schools, handing out this c.b.s. story, and comments from recent graduates. Would you have enrolled, if someone was picketing the day you went to sign up? We can make a difference. sorry for all, keep up those spirits ! |

Ladies here is the thing we must do is take a job to get your foot in the hospital even if it is house keeping dietary or what ever make your self stand out yes you may have to wipe butts for a while but a job is a job right now those who are picky starve or don't get the contacts. I went to a job fair and may have a job not as a medical assistant but something else but time will come plus I am going back to the school to up grade my skills hey any one like to draw blood there are a bunch of jobs for that and medical coders/billers so check those two areas and be willing to do the grunt work we are not going to walk in the door as a medical assistant look at the economy yes 8 is low but take it things will change and remember 7 months till we vote and chose wisely or the jobs will be lost forever I am a rma but have not gotten the pay check for it 92/100 was my score on the test and it has been 5 years wiped butts for 4 but still willing to look did go on some interviews so i know thanks and good luck set your self a part from the rest what ever it takes and do it |
