I am happy to report that I got a coding job! I applied at TrustHCS thanks to Terry Ma's information, took the test last weekend, which was equivalent to a mini CPT/CCS exam. They said I did very well on that, on the E/M coding, too--which shocked me (not my favorite). Just waiting on offer letter, then background and drug check. Scheduled to start 10/21. I will be so glad to finally finally not have to wear these darn headphones and listen to the snorting, sniffing, sneezing dictators I listen ever ever again. I'm also in the final phase of CCS course. I have no coding experience whatsoever and I have my CPC-A, all thanks to Andrews, Debby, Glenda, and Linda!! Cyber hugs and cyber champagne to you ladies!!!!
Oh that is so great Carmen. I was thinking about applying with them also.
I also am looking forward to not being tethered to the computer by hand and foot.
I am very happy for you. Congrats.

Thank you, Lana. I'm pretty excited. I wasn't going to apply, but then I thought how often would something like this come up, so I said what the heck. I'm applying. So glad I did. I have to tell you. Those tests were a doozy. I felt like I was taking the mini CPC/CCS exam. They said I did very very well and were suprised I had no actual coding experience besides what I have learned from this course. They said I was very very well prepared to take the CCS.
WOW! I am grinning ear to ear. Congratulations!!!
Since I'm doing all of this social networking on Facebook this week, I think I'll go congratulate you on there WITHOUT mentioning your name or any other identifying information. People need to know that brand new coding graduates CAN and DO get JOBS!
I know, right, Linda? WOW is right! I could not believe it and I was so close to not applying. This course has changed my life!!!!!!
Congratulations! Welcome to the club!
Thanks, Terry! Submitted all that paperwork Thursday evening and now just waiting. I hate waiting. LOL. I'm supposed to start 10/21 and cannot wait. I know you have started already. I hope it's going well.
My first official day was last Monday, but my laptop did not arrive until Friday afternoon. I start training Monday afternoon. We're supposed to get monitors as well, but those are shipped separately. I'm just itching to get started Monday.
Me, too! 10/21 seems like a long way off. Have a great first day!!
Congratulations, Carmen!
Good job! You've worked hard on your studies and it's paid off.
Thanks, Debby!
Thanks, Debby!
That is so awesome! With you and Terry there, you will begin to build that fabulous reputation Andrews grads have with them, and they will be begging Linda to send her grads to them. :)
So excited for you! I love hearing all the good news; it's so encouraging! Best wishes in your new life!
