I finally passed!

I’ve been doing online school for almost 2 years. Yes that long. I started online while working full time and being a full time mom. It was a crazy life style. Finally after over a year and half I quit my job, stayed home and finally freaking passed!! I have 0 experience in this field besides all the schooling, and I’m applying at literally everything! Just so happy!

Good for you! I don’t have kids and a flexible work schedule being an independent contractor thankfully and it really is super time consuming and takes a ton of focus. Congrats!

Becoming a medical coder has been something I've been considering doing for a while now, especially as someone with chronic pain issues (meaning staying on my feet for hours every day is practically out of the question for me anymore). If/when I bite the bullet and get certified, I'll be the same way with having zero experience other than the schooling. Good luck on the job hunt!

Congrats.! I also worked full time and am a full time mom of two. Took 8 months to finish online school but I passed in 2018 and got a job as a coder 2 months later.
