Health Care

I'm considering a degree in nursing. I have 4 questions: 1) Do nurses have to work variable shifts (such as night shifts from 12am to 7am, for example) or could they choose what shifts they want? If yes, would obtaining an A.S. in Nursing (and RN license) as opposed to a LPN license increase the choices I have when choosing the work shifts?

2) Do nurses ever have to bring work home? I don't think they do, but I just want to be sure.

3) Do nurses have to work overtime (more than 8 hours a day) , especially as a new nurse, or is it optional?

4) Are health care benefits provided for full-time as well as part-time nurses?

Thanks.

I'm going to enroll in a program for medical billing and coding. It takes one year to complete, by which time I will be 45. I'm just a little concerned that maybe I have waited too late in life??

I want to be a nurse very badly. I have all my classes done, and I applied to the nursing program. Now they tell me there is a waiting list. How can there be a nursing shortage if I can't even get into the schools?

I am interested in becoming a radiology technician but I want to do it part time. Are part time jobs easy to find? No more than 20 hours a week.

Also, how hard is the 2 year program? I was told it goes on all year round including summer. I was also told I would spend all day learning this stuff as if it was a full time job during the training part. I also want to know what kind of homework I would have to do.

Could you explain these things?

Is this job very demanding or is it laid back?

thanks

For example, in order to get into the BSN at my school, you need a 3.0. That's like medical school! I thought nursing was supposed to be easy, but I guess I was wrong. Does anyone have any theories behind this mess?

I am getting my degree in nursing (BSN) and will most likely pursue a MSN as well. I really don't want to work nights, though. Are all nurses required to work nights at some point? How hard is it to find an employer that doesn't require nights?

I'm a certified coder and have worked as a biller and coder for a couple of years. I want to earn some extra money on the side by doing this work at home, but I can't find any telecommuting jobs. Any ideas? I'm also a part time student, and I could definitely use the extra money for school expenses.

I work for the County, Department of Human Services. I do not like this job and would prefer not to stay any longer than necessary. I left this job a year ago after being employed here for 5 years. I returned to this job in July of this year after not being sucessful in another venture.

I took the test to become a permanent employee with benefits, (medical, dental, vision, retirement, etc.) that I have to pay OUT OF MY POCKET to have.

As an temp...I do not have ANY benefits but can get my kids on another Medical/dental/vision plan that will save me about $250/mo. My total savings will be about $400 per pay period if I DO NOT become a permanent employee. That's $900 per month!

The ONLY benefit for becoming a permanent employee is that I too, would have medical, dental, vision.

I am tempted to hold out on making a decision until after the first of the year.

I'm interested in working in a hospital, I know there are numerous different positions available but I have never worked in a hospital before and have no experience in that field. Is there a website where I can find out the different positions within the medical field and the amount of training for each? I'm looking for something where I wont have to do a lot of schooling, but where I can find a position in a hospital environment. I'd like to be certified or have a qualification that is needed in the medical field without a lot of schooling. I know the job of Phlebotomist is one in which you don't have to do a lot of training, but I do not wish to draw blood. I'd like a more technical position such as working in X-ray or such. Any help appreciated.

I have tried to find a job for the past year. I am over 50, only have office experience in a avaiation factory. No real skills. I was laid off in 2002 from Boeing. I went to college and graduated with a nursing degree. I couldn't pass the state board so I gave up. I have hurt my back and can't lift over 25-30 pounds. Last Oct, I had open heart surgery to replace a heart valve and my sternum is not growing together properly so the weight restriction stays. Nursing is out of the question now. The degree I am seeking now is in Forensic Science-a Bachelor's Degree. I would be able to teach in college, to work in any chemical lab, hospital lab, forensic center, coronor's office, etc. But I will also be 3 years older. Hence my delimena. Do I stay in school or quit do the contract or temporary job work? I have been turned down for jobs because of my credit and I'm sure my age. I am on financial aide, only support myself and have tried even p-time job and none. Any suggestions
