I got VERY lucky and by word of mouth, got a coding job at our local hospital. Keep in mind, I do NOT have my CPC yet. Or any hands on experience. Just the case studies from the course I took. My new boss is so nice and hired people with zero experience because there is another girl who has been there for almost a year and just got her CPC. But im so scared. I feel like I have a pretty good grasp on coding but I always feel like I’m learning something new everyday. Im so scared i will fail. My confidence level is not very high to begin with.
