Health Care

I need some good opinions here folks. Please star!

My dad is discouraging me to take this new job delivering mail for the post office. So now I need other people's opinions because i am confused.

I have a current job. I have medical/dental insurance on me and my family. I make about 5 dollars less an hour at my current job then I would at my new one. I am very burnt out of my previous job and fell like I will never move up. I applied and been ignored.
I now have an offer with the post office. It pays 5 dollars more an hour plus 30 dollars a day for wear and tear on your car. But untill you go permanent (approx 2or3 years) you dont have medical insurance.
Now i can get All Kids probably for my children. Me and my husband wouldn't have insurance if I changed. He can pick up insurance at his job but it's about 200 dollars extra a month than i pay at my current job.
My dad's points are these:
You have to have your own vehicle. You will have to replace brakes & other often.

i was originally going to school for my RN but since having my daughter i would rather go for sonography, giving the sonograms, especially the ones to determine the sex of babies. but i dont know much about it, i dont even know what the actualy job title is called let alone where to go to school for it. would there be enough of a demand for those to where i could get a job in an OB Clinic or hospital. just curious if anyone knows anything more about it! thanks :)

What classes should I take in order to apply for this job? I need a job while I go through nursing. I wanna be an O.R Nurse and I feel like this is one job that I would be interested in while going to school. Any recommendations on what classes to take? or do i need some kind of certification?

Since the IT field is not the same as it once was around 1999, what fields should I consider going into? I am sick of the games in the IT field especially with job recruiters and their jive. I pretty much had my heart set on a career in IT until it dried up. At 35, I feel lost. Should I go back to grad school and accumulate more debt?

I'm a diabetic who had a MRSA infection in my left foot.The doctor wanted to do amputation below the knee. I questioned having to loose the whole leg for a foot infection. He replied with"you snip snip here and you snip snip there and you're still going to lose the leg" that was 7 years ago. I still have the leg and most of my left foot minus the toes. I saved myself because I didn't let his being a doctor stop me from exploring my options. It still amazes me how many heatlhcare professionals still act like their opinions and judgements are the final word. What happened to the partnership between doctors and patients I've heard so much about?

I will graduate in June 2008 from an AAMT approved school with a certificate in medical transcription. I plan to work from home and I'm wondering if they're any books, besides the ones I already have, that will be useful. The books I have are: Dorland's Illustrated Medical Dictionary, AAMT Book of Style for Medical Transcription, Saunders Pharmaceutical Word Book, Annotated Medical Surgical Word Book, and Pronunciation List. I also have the foot pedal. What other materials would you recommend? Thanks.

My wife went to PIMA medical Institute for school to become a certified Pharmacy Technician. She also works in a Pharmacy

Is that enough schooling to be accepted into pharmacy school to pursue a PharmD degree?

Im seriously considering entering the field (would be starting school in spring..). Is it a challenging, interesting job, or will i bore easily? I want something in the medical field, but also need something that can capture and keep my interest throughout my career. Im also going to be looking to support a family on my salary, but from what i've heard/ read, that shouldnt be too much of a problem... Opinions on Resp. therapy/ other viable options? All info appreciated! =)

I am 25 years old currently a pharmacy technician for 7 & 1/2 years and now wanting a change to become an x-ray technician. How do i know which school to take and fast to get my certification? I did not go to college and don't have any general education. But i would like to go straight into x-ray class. How much will it cost me to do that without community college? I am so clueless, I graduate HS 2002..had my pharm tech license through longs for free and been working for the county doing IV/Chemo. Now thinking about going back to school scares me a lot. I need some guidance on what process to take to become an x-ray tech? i was checking out the sights...what is the difference with x-ray tech and x-ray tech limited scope? which one makes more money...i know theres a ton of x-ray but if you happen to know which makes more income let me know Thanks!! I really can;t wait for your responds;)

There average wage is above 90K, how hard is it to fill a bottle with pills. It is not like the old days where they are crushing different compounds together to make medicine. I know it is important not to mix up pills and know side effects but isn't the latter the doctor's responsibility. Also, you used to be able to have a Bachelors in Pharmacy now it takes a Doctorate, it this just so there will be a shortage and raise salaries? I think Medco, which was part of Merck-Medco had an almost fully automated prescription dispenser with less errors than human pharmacists.
