Business outlook
Pros
- observe healthcare in action - learn medical terminology and how to chart - other things of note: limited patient interaction if any, responsible for finding cover for shift, can exceed 8 hour shifts (ex. precharting, late patients, training a new scribe)
Cons
- steep learning curve - mostly an individual job (can be pro or con) - assigned specialty is based on availability - minimum wage job; no pay raise unless you train another scribe or take on administrative responsibilities - not always understanding of schedule changes
