graduated about a year ago from Andrews - Renee
Posted: Jun 17, 2012
I graduated about a year ago from Andrews, but was needed to care for an elderly family member. I can now work, but am having a hard time because of no experience and a year out of school. Any suggestions? Thank you!

Seriously, call Linda. Perhaps you can do a "refresher" something or other and get a letter or something that will help you bypass that year-out-of-school thing.

I Just Graduated Mar 20, 2013I just graduated from Career Step's MT curriculum with Honors. I'm looking around for jobs now but I'm very nervous.

Also I was scrolling down the forum and a lot of people are saying no one is hiring. Is that true? ...
Just Graduated... Any Advice???? Jan 05, 2010I know that the MT world is starting to get difficult to find gainful employment, but I am a recent Honors graduate. Do any of the experienced MT's have any advice of getting into the business? I really have my heart set on making this work. So any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. Maybe, if you would have some names of companies that are willing to take a chance on a newbie.
I hope that everyone had a wonderful Holiday Season.

Any newbie's have anything positive to say about their experiences getting started as an MT? I hate to have a negative attitude, that's really not how I am, but sometimes you have to be realistic. I'll still apply to MT jo ...
Newly-Graduated MT May 27, 2010I'm a newly-graduated MT - I just graduated 4 weeks ago. I'm feeling really nervous, reading all the postings here, because it sounds like I chose the wrong field to go into. And I had to spend my IRA funds for these classes, too! I went through a 1-year certificate program (it actually took me two years to finish because of the way classes were scheduled). I feel it was thorough education - anatomy/physiology, pharmacology, lab/diagnostic tests, human diseases, medical terminology, ph ...

Graduated Have Not Taken My CPC Or CCS Exam Yet Jan 01, 2013Hello everyone.

I am wondering if anyone who is currently coding has been able to had a hard time finding their 1st position out of school ? My school was not helpful when it came to career services and the hospital where I interned was too small to hire me after graduation. I have applied to some of my local hospitals only to be told you have to have minimum of 2 years ex ...

Most places that are looking for MT's on this website require at least 1 year of experience and I can understand that. I am a newbie and no one likes to carr ...

M Tec Or Andrews? Jun 03, 2010I am an LPN looking into the field of MT. I am tired of standing on my feet for 2-3 hour med passes and lifting and turning patients. I am ready to work hard from home. I understand that both M Tec and Andrews are great schools. Is one better then the other? How do experienced MT's feel about the two?
Thanks!! ...
Andrews Oct 06, 2012I'm considering Andrews coding, but would love some feedback for those who enrolled that had no medical or MT background. I have very little medical background and it seems the MT's are favored as they are more familiar with terminology. For those enrolled how do you like the course? Do you find the course interesting? I already know its challenging! Thanks for any info you can provide! ...
Andrews Or CCO?? Feb 05, 2015I'm trying to do as much research as possible into changing careers from MT to coding, and I've narrowed down my two choices of schools to Andrews and CCO (CodingCertificate.Org). According to CCO's website, they now offer courses that will prepare you to take the CCS exam. I've heard positive things about CCO, but I've also heard positive things about Andrews, and how thorough it is, but also that it's very difficult. I would love to hear either f ...
Just Enrolled At Andrews! May 11, 2010Okay, so after much debate and research, I enrolled in Andrews course for coding yesterday! :) Now I'm just waiting for my materials to arrive, reading over my 1st set of instructions, and trying to navigate my way through loads of information on the student forum. All I can say is WOW. I think this course is going to be wonderful and very challenging. I'm actually a bit overwhelmed at the moment! LOL! But I'm excited!

CCS Without RHIT (Considering Andrews) Feb 26, 2011Coders: In a situation where a new graduate of a program has the CCS but not the RHIT, do you believe this would be an obstacle to finding employment? I notice some jobs say CCS or RHIT and some want both.
I am weighing the pros and cons between attending a program that I know will prepare me to pass the CCS (Andrews) versus a program to earn a degree that will make me eligible to take the RHIT and, hopefully, pass the CCS.
For background, I am a medical transcriptionist and also will graduate ...
