April - September 2018 • Owatonna, MN

What I liked

Working as a scribe provided a great opportunity to work with and gain up close and personal experience working with healthcare professionals including nurses, NPs, PAs, and physicians. It was amazing to follow a patient's case throughout the time that they arrive to when they are diagnosed and either discharged or admitted.

What I wish was different

Management was hard to work with when it came to scheduling shifts around classes.

Advice

You have to be a proficient typer, be able to learn fast, and feel comfortable multitasking.

What I liked

I liked having a hands on experience in the medical field. I also gained relationships with physicians and learned so much from them

What I wish was different

I wish I was able to do more involving each patient. I hated having to just stand in the room and type.

Advice

It is amazing to do this job if you’d like to be in the medical field. You learn so much information about the clinical side of being a physician and gain so much knowledge of the diagnostic approach.

June 2018 • Dallas, TX

What I liked

I liked that they were willing to work with my school schedule once classes started back up. I also liked that they were willing to allow me days off prior to exams.

What I wish was different

Organization. There seems to be disfunction in the organizational component when it comes to chief scribes and scribes.

Advice

If healthcare is your career path, this is an excellent job to have. I was told to take a tech job over the summer, however that did not peak my interest. By being a scribe, I feel as if I learn more about what my provider is thinking and why, how my patients are feeling regarding symptoms, and medications to be prescribed. It gives me an overLl understanding as to what needs to be done to care for a patient. Granted, the information learned is not specifically nursing related, however, I believe it prepares me for the next step which would include being a nurse practioner.
