Careers in 2 years or less?

Question

They forgot to add nursing, radio/ultrasound/mri tech and whole bunch of other medical professions to this.

Kind of scary that in just 2 years of training a 20 year old could be taking care of your life if you're in the hospital. Yikes.

yeah i dont know why they left off all those healthcare positions

um where does the RN program take 6-8 years? I think you are exaggerating. My cousin went from high school to being an RN in about 2 and a half years. Some pre reqs were required, that was it.

Answer 1

You would have to to have listerally NOTHING but time to get your RN in two years, LVN can be obtained in 2-yrs, but they don't have the same qualifications as an RN. If you'd been through the RN program which takes likd 6-8 yrs you wouldn't be second guessing quite so easily, the RN program is not easy.

Answer 2

Hi, not sure if you are writing from the USA however I am a Podiatrist and my wife is a registered nurse in Australia. I noted the other day in a local newspaper you can become a registered nurse in 2 years through a combination of university study and on-site/hospital training. This is all supported by our State Government and the eventual degree in Nursing is recoginsed globally. Have a look at: http://www.health.nsw.gov.au/nursing/scholar.html

Answer 3

I just want to say that I am 23 and went to tech school for nursing. I graduated when I was 19 and have been a nurse eversince! I have never had any problems or complaints about my care from my patients or bosses! I don't think that your age matters I think that it's what kind of person you are and the l;evel of compassion that you have.

Answer 4

They also forgot Respritory Therapist...my sister just graduated (2 year program) and is making $54,000 starting. Not bad for 2 years of schooling.
