What are the hours for a Professional Medical Assistant?

im thinking of taking a class for a Professional Medical Assistant and I was woundering what are the hours for most jobs and whats the hourly wage?thanks any help will be great=]

usually 9-5... depending on what type of office youre working in... also... I spent 5,000 on MA school, to get a 9.00 an hour job.... NOT WORTH IT>

They really work hard you can work double shifts alot of the time

7:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.

I was a med assistant for an orthopod for 20 years, I usually worked from Monday-Friday 8:30-6:30 half day on Wednesday. When I retired I was making 24.50 an hour, plus insurance, plus retirement, 4 weeks vacation

Usually 9 to 5, except in emergency situations in the doctor's office. Then, you may have to work some overtime.

It depends on where you work. A traditional doctor's office will likely have traditional office hours, 8-5, 9-5 Monday-Friday, something like that. Urgent care clinics also hire Medical Assistants; they are open much longer hours, often including weekends.

well when i was a MA, i worked 730-4
and i was making 14.50 i am a R.N. now...
But if refuse to take less don't be scared to ask for what you want..

The hours are usually between 6 am and 8 pm Monday -Friday and generally, MA's work in clinics. A lot of family practice or pediatric clinics has Sat hours for a half day. Usually you rotate with the other MA's in the clinic.

yes the first answer is true
psying 9k thats (what im paying) for 9 an hour??
and do you know how many medical assistants are we with NO job?
if you want to be in the medical field my wise advice go for LPN you will get a job is a 1 year program but more chances to get a good job
