If You Ever Doubted...
I never write reviews but I thought I can share with people who are out there still figure out life. I was 30 years old when I decided on a career and Rasmussen had a lot to with it. Like most people, I was just tired of being sick and tired. I loved the company I work for (Humana Inc.) but my position as a claims processor was getting redundant and I was burned out. I wanted more so I initially went for a Medical Coding to get the credentials to become a Claims Analyst in the midst of my program I was promoted and relocated. I still finished the Medical Coding program and even passed the board exam and got certified. I am happy with my promotion but I still felt I need the education to be financially secure so I continued to the HIM Associates program. I have 5 more weeks and will sit for the RHIT Exam and I plan to continue to the HIM bachelors program and become RHIA certified. My advisor Courtney has been there every step of they way. Even when lagged behind. The professors are great. They cover the basics and all I did was go back and study. the preparation for the exam is everything because the weeks are broken up by the domain so you have that time to study with an instructor and ask questions. I have 3 kids, I work full time and have a loaded schedule. There were nights my boyfriend and kids pulled my head out the books and laptop. There were times the sun had come up as I finished my homework. You are your only excuse. No reason as to why to can’t do it. Don’t think about it, just do it. I had actually been to two community colleges prior to Rasmussen on and off since high school 2005. By the time I am finished, I would have completed 3 programs, received 3 certifications in 4 years.
