HUC/CMAA
• Health unit coordinators prepare medical records for new patients, input
healthcare data, maintain patient charts and perform other non-clinical
tasks related to patient admission and discharge. Graduates can also work
as receptionists in a hospital or other healthcare setting.
• Graduates can find careers as medical secretaries, unit clerks, medical
receptionists and health unit coordinators. These positions can be found
in hospitals, medical-surgical units, dental offices, nursing homes, doctor’s
offices, veterinary clinics and laboratories.
• The Certified Medical Administrative Assistant (CMAA) is a nationally
recognized certification for Medical Administrative Assistants. It
demonstrates your ability to perform routine administrative tasks in a
physicians’ office or clinic to keep it running efficiently. Medical
Administrative Assistants are also known as Medical Office Secretaries
and Medical Office Assistants
HUC/CMAA Salary
• A Health Unit Coordinator earns an average wage of $13.72 per
hour. Most people move on to other jobs if they have more than 20
years' experience in this field.
• If a medical administrative assistant has less than a year of
experience they get paid less. An hourly pay rate between $8.00
and $12.00 is typical. This works out to between 18 and 20 thousand
dollars a year. This is based on working 40 hours per week. A
medical administrative assistant with 15 or more years of
experience makes more money. An experienced medical
administrative assistant can make around $17.00-$19.00 an hour.
That comes out to almost $40,000 a year. The time in the job
matters.
HUC/CMAA Exam
• The CMAA final exam consists of 110 multiple choice questions. Testing
candidates are allowed one hour and fifty minutes to take the exam. The
basic breakdown of the exam is 20 items covering risk management, 30
items covering financial procedures, and 50 items covering office
procedures.
• The questions in the exam are weighted, meaning some questions are
worth more points than others. You must score 390 or better to pass the
exam
• The Health Unit Coordinator Certification Examination measures
knowledge and skills in areas of job performance that the NAHUC
Certification Board regards as essential. There are 120 questions. The first
20 questions are pre‐test questions that are not scored. There are 100
scored, comprehensive questions based on job‐related objectives to
answer in the two and one‐half hour period.
• All tests are reported as “scaled scores” to insure that all candidates have
the same advantage regardless of which test they take. The questions are
multiple choice and are adjusted for minor differences in difficulty
CMAA Test results
• 7 passed 13 failed
CNA
• Certified Nursing Assistant
• A certified nursing assistant, or CNA, helps patients or clients with
healthcare needs under the supervision of a Registered Nurse (RN)
or a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). Also known as a Nursing
Assistant (NA) a Patient Care Assistant (PCA) or a State Tested
Nurse Aid (STNA), the individual who carries this title needs strong
work ethic and ability, but issues of liability and legality prevent
CNAs from performing certain procedures.
What does a CNA do?
• Nursing assistants can work in a wide variety of settings; nursing homes,
hospitals, adult day care centers, personal homes and assisted living
facilities all require nursing assistants to act as a helpful liaison between
the RN or LPN and the patient. In many cases, the nursing assistant serves
as the RN’s or LPN’s eyes and ears, and relays information between many
patients and one or two RNs.
• The nursing assistant fulfills basic quality of life needs for patients of any
age, ethnicity or gender in residential nursing care facilities or outpatient
clinics. Since nursing assistants have daily contact with patients, they are
gatherers of vital information about the patients’ conditions, which they
must then transmit to their supervisors. A CNA’s workload can become
intense and fast-paced, but the human contact and ability to help those in
medical need is a strong motivating factor. A desire to help people and
compassion for patients can help a nurse’s assistant get through difficult
days.
CNA’s and the Nursing Industry
• Because so many nurse’s aides want to move up into more involved
medical careers, there is a high rate of turnover for CNA positions.
This means it is fairly easy to find a job as a CNA, but many who
start out in this career do not stay in it for life. The demand for
CNAs is high, especially among those institutions that provide
continuing care and assisted living for the elderly. Many health care
facilities recognize the important role that a qualified and
compassionate CNA can play in their quality of care offered.
Additionally, a CNA can find support through organizations such as
the National Association of Health Care Assistants.
Daily Responsibilities of CNA’s
• Administer medications or treatments, such as catheterizations,
suppositories, irrigations, enemas, massages, or douches, as
directed by a physician or nurse.”
• “Clean and sanitize patient rooms, bathrooms, examination rooms,
or other patient areas.”
• “Document or otherwise report observations of patient behavior,
complaints, or physical symptoms to nurses.”
• “Apply clean dressings, slings, stockings, or support bandages,
under direction of nurse or physician.”
• Clearly, the duties of a CNA are not glamorous, but the position is
highly suited for people who arei interested in helping to cure
illness, mitigate misery, and generally add to the wellbeing of other
people at the time they need it most.
CNA Pay & Benefits
• CNAs typically earn an hourly wage rather than an annual salary, so
your pay will fluctuate depending on whether you take a few hours
here and there, steadily work full time, or constantly pull 60 hour
weeks. According to The BLS, the median hourly wage for CNAs was
$11.46 in May 2008. Median wages for similar or related careers
were as follows:
• Medical Assistants: $28,300 (annual)
• Registered Nurses: $62,450 (annual)
• Home Health Aides: $9.22 (hourly)
• Location can be a major influencing factor in how much you earn in
any of the above jobs, and how many jobs are available in the first
place. The chart below shows data from The BLS about how many
medical assistant jobs are available in the five states with highest
employment in that field.
CNA Test
• You must pass both the clinical skills and written exams within 2
years of your first test date. If you do not pass both exams within 2
years, you will have to take both exams again to be certified.
Results more than 2 years old are not valid. In addition, if you fail
either the clinical skills or written exam 3 times in that 2- year
period, you will be required to attend a state approved training
program before testing on both parts of the exam again.
• The Florida Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Exam consists of two
separate tests: The Clinical Skills Test and the Written (Knowledge)
Test. You are not required to pass one test before taking the other.
CNA Test Results
• 2012-2013- 89% Pass rate (76 passed)
• 2011-2012- 77 passed 11 failed
• 2010- 2011- 63 passed 7 failed
EKG Tech
• As a Certified EKG Technician, you’ll operate machines that record
the electrical activity of a patient’s heart. EKG rhythms provide
important data for the diagnosis of heart conditions. As a CET, you
may perform some or all of the following tasks:
• Set up and administer EKGs, stress tests
• Prepare patients for Holter, or ambulatory monitoring
• Edit and deliver final test results to physicians for analysis
• Schedule appointments
• Transcribe physicians' interpretations
• Benefits to obtaining an EKG Technician Certification may include:
more job opportunities, an increased pay scale, job security, and
increased subject matter expertise.
EKG Tech Education
• EKG techs need at least a high school diploma, according to the Bureau of
Labor Statistics. However, employers like to see that students have gone
“above and beyond” the minimum requirements, says Tammy Renner,
Rasmussen College’s national medical laboratory technician program
director. So if you want to stand out, consider pursuing further education.
• Most colleges with an EKG tech program offer a two-year associate’s
degree or a certificate, which can be completed in as few as nine months.
Certificates offer field-specific courses and less general education classes,
which means you’ll spend more time on the subject in which you’re
actually interested.
• No matter whether you earn an associate’s degree or certificate, earning
an EKG tech credential is usually the next step. While an EKG Technician
Certification from the National Healthcareer Association isn’t required to
get a job, it’s something employers look for, Renner says. After you pass
the exam you’ll be a Certified EKG Technician.
EKG technician salary
• The amount of an EKG technician salary depends on many different
factors. Some factors that affect how much money they make
include where they work, level of experience on the job, geographic
location and sex of the employee. The salary also varies with level
of training or education.
• In general, the median national salary of an EKG technician is
reported to be around $34,000. The lowest 10th percentile earns
about $26,000 and the highest 10th percentile about $43,000 per
year. For the middle 50% of the workforce, they earn between
$30,000 and $39,000 per year.
