You have been working as an MA in medical office for six months. You love everything about your job. You recommended your friend
for an open MA position and she started two weeks ago. Yesterday she was late for work and didn’t call the office. You had to pick up her patient load and responsibilities for the majority of the morning. How should you separate your professional role and responsibilities from your personal life?
There are a couple thing you can do to keep your live's separate. 1. Identify your personal boundaries One way of doing this is setting clear boundaries and protecting your personal space. Another way is asking yourself if there is something that makes uncomfortable, if there is try to "toss it". 2. Use different social sites for different purposes This is one of the easiest way to avoid overlap as by doing this you are separating your life's online as well.
<span>This is always a tricky situation. Me, personally I don't prefer or like to work with family and friends. But if i was in this situation I would try to let my friend know that this isn't acceptable and that when I am at work I am 100% focused on my job and my patients. My friendship with her will take a back seat to my job and patients. So first I would try to talk to her one on one and let her know that it put a heavy load on me and it certainly doesn't look well for her as a new employee. But being open and honest from the very beginning is how I would do it. I would tell my friend first off that this is my job and it is how i feed my family, so that is more important to me than anything else. I would be very clear that Hey i got you this job but it is up to you to keep it, and if anything happens I wish to stay out of it and I hope you can understand that while in this office we're co workers, when we punch out we're friends. I go by the motto leave home at home and work at work. I am a very blunt honest person so most of my friends are used to this and they would hopefully perceive this the way intended and not meant harshly. </span>
