Health Care

I only have one hand. I have never had a problem doing anything with one hand before but the nursing school has some doubts whether i'll be able to do it or not. I would like to know if any nurses or doctors out there have ever worked with someone with only one hand and if they wree able to do everything. I would like to get in contact with someone who is actually in my situation to talk about this. Any advice would be helpful!

I've sent in my residency applications and have started to receive invitations to interview. If a school does NOT decide to interview you will they send you a rejection email or will they just NOT contact you.

I am interested in learning more about both fields. I was told to pick one or the other. The differences as far as salary, bonuses, commissions, travel, other perks such as medical and dental benifits, company car, ect. I am also intereested in knowing which field is more stable and which field offers more growth and earning potential.

the responses are all negative with respect to the dental choice? Are there no jobs in this field? The recent reports of medical careers being in high demand would make someone think that these were both good choices.

Any positive responses are welcomed as I am considering several options in the medical area.

Thanks.

Pay is about equal.
Both can get specialized and earn more money.
Rad Techs do not have as much responsibility as far as lives go. (they can't accidentally grab the wrong med and inject someone with it) The schooling for a Rad Tech is not as grueling.

RN's can get their RN Associates in two years which I guess is the same with a Rad Tech.
RN's have a bigger variety of job's to choose from and a bigger variety of places they can work.
RN's can one day become traveling nurses.

And probably above and beyond all of that is also both a negative and a positive. That is that the cases that you see are sometimes very tragic and you feel both a sense of purpose but also very saddned while being and RN.

I am trying to get into the radiology program at my college, and so far it has been pretty challenging. I'm just wondering how well all of you radiologists like your jobs. Is it a fun job? Do you work good hours? Was it easy to find a job when you graduated? Do you feel that all of the schooling was worth it? I would appreciate any information. Thanks! :)

How difficult or easy is it to get nationally certified pharmacy tech license? Can you skip the states and go straight for the National or do you have to get the state one first, train for awhile and then do National? I live in Alabama. I don't know if it would be different in other states. I work at a retail drug pharmacy as a front end sales associate. I have been asked by people in the pharmacy to work with them as a pharmacy tech. If I can get nationally certified I might see what places pay the best , good hours, and over all atmosphere.

I attended a job fair where the unit director (a large hospital) asked me to apply and allow her to look over my application. It wasn't actually an interview, we just got to talking at the job fair and she said she would be interested in having me. I have applied but have not heard back from her. It has been 4 days. Is it okay to call her? How long should I wait, and what should I say? I've never had to follow up with any job in the past, and this is new to me. Thank you all in advance.

I will be starting school in the next semester to become a funeral director. I would like to try and get a job with the medical examiner as an assistant or as a diener in a hospital morgue. I am currently working in a cemetery office. There are no positions open in the funeral home at this point. I'm looking for more experience than what I'm doing now-which is office work.

Hi,

I am interested in becoming a Pharmacist. If there are any Pharmacists out there whom can walk me through a normal day and what you need to know, that would be great!

Also, information on Pharmacy schooling, length/degree options, costs, transferring, etc. would also be a lot of help.

Thank you

Do all hospitals offer a thing that lets you work at the hospital while taking classes to get a degree in that field ??

I want to get like maybe a respritory therapist degree or be able to do ultra sounds but i dont know the name of that job and none of the colleges i can find near me offer them.

would the hospitals offer it?

it just bothers me how you always hear there's a nursing shortage problem. and being college bound i plan to take up nursing. then you're informed that the nursing program at the school you're planning to attend is impacted.


and its not only one specific school but most schools in california. i know there are a multitude of problems our society faces but healthcare should be a major priority. in major cities like Los Angeles and Long Beach, shouldnt they put an emphasis on healthcare and try to combat teh nursing shortage by expanding teh nursing programs?


your thoughts?

Hello does anyone know about the field of nursing? It sounds really interesting, because I don't really feel like going through all the schooling of becoming a doctor. I'm a male, in particular, if that is any reason for concern.

I'm curious. I had a friend tell me that their grandchild had to have blood drawn & they were six or so & the child had to be held down & wouldn't stop moving. Isn't that dangerous? Is there ever a time when a phlebotomist says they refuse to try & take blood like that.

I don't understand how it can be medically safe to attempt to draw blood from a patient who refuses to stay still.
