There were many valuable lessons (both clinical and career related) to be learned and yes the pay is abysmal, yes the hours can be long, yes it can be inconvenient sometimes, and yes your management may not just let you take the whole week off for finals and screw over your entire team covering for you. I had a different experience than OP as the chief scribe at a small ED program.
Scribe america quizlet free#
I'm still a scribe at the free clinic but I miss my tough Cardiology Scribe job. I went to break one day and just didn't go back. You were invisible to doctors, answered to nurses who did nothing but nitpick things that didn't matter.
Taking **** from nurses (A doctor can give me **** any day becaue that's a f-ing doctor! But a nurse? Haha no.). It sucked at times but sucked WAY less than I saw one of the old doctors I used to scribe for in the hospital cafeteria after I got a new job in the OR and he told me my old scribe manager was fired a couple months after I quit. I should have just called in for finals week and tried to fight a write up. The only way I could see them even making the attempt would be if you tried to start your own scribe company. The Non-Compete Clause - My old manager just texted me something along the lines of "Just a reminder, there is a noncompete clause saying you can't work as a scribe anywhere else for 2 years." Many states (including mine) do not uphold these, and it would be pretty foolish for ScribeAmerica to spend the money to even try to enforce it on a student merely working as a scribe somewhere else, if they even found out. Blacklisted from Med School - Leaving on bad terms with ScribeAmerica will put you in a database and you will get "Blacklisted" (yes they actually use that term in the training) from medical school. Pay is not great BUT it is the same if not more than any other college parttime job so I don't see why scribes always complain about the pay. It was not uncommon for people to ask to take their shifts because they're failing chemistry and need a day to catch up on their homework. Many of the scribes have a hard time getting good grades. I thought I was just good but not great and always told I was great. Our Chief scribe was not that great, our trainers were not that great. Groups/sites vary in competency by location. When the nurses get what they need done they can sit down and talk for a few minutes until the next thing comes along while we try to ignore them and maybe see the patients on time. 
I see that physician (and scribe) is not one of those jobs. Many jobs whether office jobs or field jobs have some degree of downtime.
It's always been my dream to open a business and now is the time to take that risk (If you have to be financially ruined, better when I'm single and can just start from scratch and still be young by the end.) Looking at other opportunities honesty, just keeping my options open.I hate the daily routine of waking up SO early and working until 5PM going room to room seeing the same 2 or 3 conditions. After nearly a year working as a scribe in a specialty outpatient clinic I realized I absolutely dread days I work.Outpatient Hours/Business Days and school really don't go well together. It's finals week and they wanted me to work 4 days 6AM-5PM, one day in the satellite clinic 2 hours away.I worked for physicians in a competitive IM subspecialty, many well known, a few easily nationally recognized. In many ways, this position was to die for.
