This goal is associated with the accountability topic: "Career Planning"
I am currently a PCT and I want to change my career to become a Remote Medical Coder.
This will allow me to work from home with a higher pay, no transportation cost, will be able to follow Islamic obligations more closely (for example praying my prayers on time), will be able to get more rest, won't be exhausted after work, will have more energy to pursue other goals that I am working on.
This goal will include a study plan for the medical coding exam and I will track my progress through the discussion posts.
My goal is to have this new job before Ramadan so that I can participate fully in Ramadan like I did last year :)
I was able to buy the AHIMA membership and learned that the membership does not pay for the required books so I need to save $400 after buying that.
I have $50 saved so far of the $510
I have $50 saved so far of the $510 but pay day is coming soon so I should be able to save $160 this upcoming paycheck
During my next paycheck I should be able to save half way for the books. I am also working on getting a work from home job before I take the exam for the CCA role. That way I can participate during Ramadan.
