i know but like how smart do you have to be

okay good answers people so i dont have to be a janitor or something like that there is still hope not that there is anything wrong with that

Answer 1

OK im not going to give you an answer then.

Answer 2

Some hospitals will train you to be a patient care technician. These are people that take vital signs, help bathe and clean the patient, test blood sugars (only in some facilities will they allow this), make beds etc... Then there are hospitals that will train you to do something more advanced like: EKG technician, EEG technician. Your local community college, technical school or hospital may also train you to do something like phlebotomy.These are the people that draw blood. You must know your tubes and blood work but you'll be trained to do that. These are just a few of the patient related little schooling jobs in the hospital. You could go and advance into something like LPN which is a one year nursing degree. Or major in sonography and then specialize into cardiac sonography, obstetrical sonography or general sonography. This is a one year program too but the pre-requisites may require another year. I'll tell you what ALWAYS interested me. Lab work. You could go for the whole tamale and major in medical laboratory technology. Absolutely fascinating. Good luck to you.

Answer 3

Without adequate schooling, you cannot work in patient care. You might qualify as a maintenance person, or a housekeeper.
I encourage you to continue in a school of higher education and get some sort of degree, there are many in healthcare fields, see a college counsellor to find out about those. There are placement exams and remedial courses you can take to bring you up to speed. But to have a better life, you must have a better education. Good luck to you.

Answer 4

I suggest that after you graduate from HS. You can ask any Large Hospital if they need a transporter. This is a person, who transports patients to and from Radiology, Emergency Room, and to their car upon discharge. However, if you are really serious about a career in healthcare. May I suggest seing about becoming A Respiratory Therapist,
I have been one for over 32 years, Have my BS,
You can support yourself and can obtain a job almost in any City, upon graduation and taking the National Boards.

Answer 5

Depending on where you are, I would recommend you try as a volunteer first and if caring still suits you, go for it. In the UK you need to apply to NMC (nursing midwifery council) and I would presume it would be same in your country that should you should apply to nursing school or medical school. Good luck! Nursing does not pay well but it is rewarding and constantly challenging as there are so many different fields of nursing today.

Answer 6

Look up classes in your area for a CNA (certified nurses assistant) they normally only take about 4-6 weeks. With that under your belt you qualify to become a PCA (patient care assistant)/PCT (patient care technician) in a hospital and they will give the remaining training for that. It's hard work but it's very rewarding, I did it for years.

Answer 7

I work at Humboldt General Hospital in Winnemucca, NV as a Medical Insurance Coder and IT professional.

Go to your local community college and take the medical coding track. Medical coders are in high demand, and are paid very very well.

Or take the nursing track. Nursing is definitely harder than coding, but you get to interact with people quite a bit more.

If you don't want to go to college, you're looking at a minimum wage reception/filing job.

Answer 8

Some hospitals and nursing facilities offer CNA ( Certified Nursing Assistant) Classes. Most of these classes last a few weeks and after testing you get certified for this position.

Answer 9

without a medical certification of some sort, you're still eligible to work as a CCT, receiptionist, security, greeter, patient monitor, and of couse housekeeping. A CCT would be my recommendation. You'd have direct interaction with patients while assising the nursing staff.

Answer 10

try and volunteering time at one and see if you like that...then you will get a better idea on what you would like to do at on
