![]() ![]() Working there for 2 years, I topped out at 10.05 an hour. But with my states increase in minimum wages, scribes were really affected in the end. For a little while, scribes got paid decently and above minimum wage. So I am thankful for them.īut here are the 2 things that drove me away. I feel like management really depends on where you are located, but I was very fortunate to have a great management system with seasoned scribes who worked very hard to be the best bosses they could be. This job will look good on Med School/Nursing School/PA School applications, and especially since you will gain so much experience in a critical care setting. You are expected to learn an INSANE amount of information pertaining to medicine, and you will. This is a great job for those who are wanting to learn how Docs and Midlevels do their jobs, for those curious who want to do them. There are several positives, which carry a big weight, but a few problems that I personally feel outweigh the positives.and here is why. This is without a doubt one of the coolest job I've had on my road to becoming a healthcare provider. Now, this should be taken with a huge grain of salt because I actively ask questions and seek to learn anything I can from these provider. My knowledge on anatomy, physiology, medications, treatment plans/options, and so on has grown immensely since starting this job I work with providers now that fully believe they could assign me a patient and I could do the complete workup on my own. Yes, the pay is not great at all for what we are required to do and the volume/speed at which we have to get the charting completed, but the experience for any pre-professional student is second to none. Because of these factors it took me a long time to realize that I was good at this job and the providers knew that as well. On top of the learning curve, there is not much support to make you believe you are any good at the job during training you are mostly told your mistakes in order to correct them and even when working alone the provider will almost never give you a "good job". Going off of that, after being hired there is an online training course before you even get to step foot into a hospital 2 months after getting the job. There is an absolutely mountain of a learning curve for new-hires once in the department and even after training you will never not learn anything on any given shift. Only until about a year into the job did I start to enjoy it and feel comfortable. I have been working as a scribe in the ED of one of the largest hospital's in Florida for a little over 2 years now. ![]()
