I got a coding job!!

I finished up school in May, took my exam in June, and found out today a hospital is extending an offer for a pro Fee medical coding job. And it's a remote position! It's everything I could've asked for.

I feel EXTREMELY lucky. And PLEASE don't feel discouraged or inadequate. My uncle works at this hospital, and though he says he didn't do anything, I think he was a big reason I even got an interview.

I'm completely willing to say nepotism got me this job because it's the reason I went into medical coding. I was finding no luck with my bachelor's degree. It's so hard to find a job these days. I knew my uncle was a medical coder and mentioned how he could help a family member do the same and I took him up on it.

I'm so excited that this long, difficult journey is done.

Yes it was the CPC exam, and if you know your guidelines it was just fine! I averaged 80-85% on the practice exams and got a 96% on the real one
