The school told me a lie saying companies are always in need of medical transcriptionist but they don't use them anymore. While dictating doctor notes through the school the instructor who know if I had an instructor would always pretty much fail me because I didn't go by the rules of reports such semicolons etc. which I dictated the reports correctly. I called the medical transcriptionist program since I needed help they did not care at all so I still recieved failing grades and I know I didn't speak to an actually instructor.
I finally earned my medical transcriptionist certification but after i completed the program most companies do not use medical transcriptionist since everything is electronic now. When reading the book about medical transcriptionist they lied about medical transcriptionist they are always in demand that's lie. Most healthcare facilites do not use medical transcriptionists anymore. They lied about that. The certificate was not signed by my instructor but instead it was signed by the president of the school.
Even the same thing when I was enrolled in medical assistant program. They told me lies in the course outline was that clinicals were part of the course but I never did clinical because my instructor said it was my responsibility to set up clinical but in the advertisment the instructor should have set up the clinicals in my local area. I learn to how medical procedures online such as needle sticks, inserting foley, EKG showed everything but you don't do it on a real person.
How are you going to learn to draw blood etc. It weird that the instructor in which she had a name her name is Jessica Guziman who was my instructor when I had questions she would e-mail me. She never gave out a phone number to reach her if we had questions etc. The school sent us medical gloves since I never needed the gloves because we didn't clinicals on a real person.
The whole thing was biozard and earned my certificate but the school didn't required me to take the national medical exam since most jobs only required a certificate but that is not true you must certain amout of clinical hours and you must take NHA exam to be considered for a job. The bad news however that most companies do not accept students from US Career Institute so unfortunately I am going through NHA program and companies accept student from there.
So on my resume I am not going to say that I went to US Career Institute. I am very thankful that I can my clincal at the hospital where I work. US Career Institute is not accredited school when I did some research so if I decided to go another school then my courses will not count those credits.
So I would have to redo the courses which is not fair. They say they are acredited but they are not. Its was a big waster of money I had to put to down I was thinking maybe if I enrolled in the medical assistant program I am opt to get a job but the estimated salary on medical assistant is 38,00 which is not true. After the course most companies do not accept students from US Career Institute.

Not sure what degree you are referring to but most of these schools are nothing but scams. I have a friend who has multiple DUI's. He was marketed to of all places a truck driving school. He lived in the ghetto, did not have a car, and believe it or not this school wanted his loan money (and others like him) so bad they sent around vans to pick them up and bring them in. Anything to get them to sign their names on the dotted line. He was upfront about his DUI's and they told him there were companies that would still work with him.
Thousands of dollars later and he had finished the program. Guess what. Everywhere he went closed the door in his face. Finally one guy told him that no company would hire him to be a truck driver with multiple DUI's because their insurance carriers would not cover a person such as him.
There are MANY corrupt business owners and these people getting into For Profit Schools and FOR PROFIT Health Clinics and FOR PROFIT this and that are just BILKING THE SYSTEM. Nothing more. They will lie and tell all sorts of things to get your money.
I can't believe you are just now figuring this out.
