Also, an upside is that these careers are a bit more flexible than working as a nurse - some of them can be done from home. You can train to become a medical biller, medical coder or medical transcriptionist for a fraction of the cost of a nursing career and still have a high-demand, solid paying career. Also, if you become certified, you increase your career and earning potential. Just a thought - you may prefer to work in the nursing field. I have been a coder for 14 years and have done fairly well.<a href="http://www.myislandholiday.com/blog/"> Heather Brown</a> Hi, I’m not sure if you’d consider working in the health care industry in an administrative capacity, but there are many office-type jobs that plan an essential part to the industry as a whole.

I would encourage you to find a career, not a job. Yes a job may pay well, but you'll be unhappy in the end. Making a career out of what you have a passion for will bring you much more happiness, even if the pay isn't what you desire. To work in the medical field, you must, MUST love what you do. I'm a nursing student, will graduate this December, and expected to make much more upon graduation, let me tell you, the pay for nurses isn't what everyone thinks, but I love people, I love healing the soul, the body, and spirit. I was born to do this. I pray you find what you were created to to as well, for you and those around you will benefit greatly. God bless.<a href="http://www.ihearclear.com/audiology.htm"> nunya</a> So, you can be an Emergency Medical Technician/Paramedic, a lab tech (process specimens), a radiologist, a sonographer (using an ultrasound machine to take scans of the body, a Polysomnographic Technologist (work with people with sleep disorders), a social worker (yes the hospital has social workers, I see them ALL the time working with patients), occupational therapy as well as physical therapy, respiratory therapy, phlebotomists….the list goes on and on.

It is a great job. The pay is good. I am in a BSN program at UT and the entire program is going to cost about $14K (that is after doing 60 hours of prereqs at community college).<a href="http://www.pdabuyingguide.com/pda-accessory-kits-9132"> Rick B</a> Why not nursing?
