Does the job....barely - Medical Assistant Ochsner Health Employee Review

As the only MA in my department I got to do a lot of different things as an aspiring PA student. I learned how to do diabetic foot exams, obviously regularly took blood pressure and other vitals. I got to witness FNAs, I took blood glucose, etc. It did come with a $5k sign-on bonus which was pretty nice. Lastly, because Ochsner is so big in LA, it's usually good to have them as a reference or connection in general. You can very easily network with that. In fact mentioning that I'd recently gotten a job in my interview for school i think really helped since that particular school has a partnernship with them.
