Most good paying jobs at a hospital require schooling. Fortunately most of these jobs are Associate Degree jobs, two years atleast. RN, Respiratory Therapist, PT asst., Xray tech. Good pay and good benefits are great with very flexible hours.

If you don't mind being on the bottom rung of the ladder try for a Certified Nurses Assistant (CNA). They get to clean the patients and their beds after they have soiled them with poop. Sick people have the smelliest poop in the world so it is pretty disgusting. You can get a CNA license pretty easily. An LVN or LPT license takes about two years of community collage and a state certified examination. RN takes four years at a collage or university or private school and also requires a state exam.

some hospitals could grant classes repayment (many now not do) yet they have very strict regulations approximately it. the place i became it had to be contained in the line of artwork you have been already in and strengthen the interest you have been already doing. (and you had to already be an worker there). So an acquaintances RN could qualify for some repayment to get a bachelors etc. It became not an entire holiday. somebody not in nursing could not get funds to grow to be a nurse. It relies upon on the guy facility coverage.

There is no nursing program (other than LPN, and they get paid far less than RN's) that you can do under 3 years. There's no quick education for anything in a hospital that pays well.

A good maintenance/construction worker can bring in some big bucks. Electricians and Plumbers in particular. Welders need a certification, so depending on the hospital, they may pay a welder a good amount.

Nurses don't take a lot of schooling eh? The pay is good eh? What planet are you living on? Three years training just to qualify, and then on-going training in different subjects throughout your employment including a degree if you want to get on. On your feet all of your shift, then never leaving on time due to staff shortages, and pay that keeps you just above subsistance level and out of the housing market. I suggest your next question is "do you want fries with that"

Your premise is wrong. Nursing does take a lot of schooling. Positions that do not would include the clerical ones, such as appointments desk clerks, but you said you also wanted good pay. I think your goals are mutually exclusive.

Why do you think that nursing doesn't take a lot of schooling?
