Top 10 In-Demand Healthcare Occupations

If Medical Assistant are in damand, why can i not get a job?

I already have a Bachelors in Biology with a Masters in Health Administration. I would like to know what job would be the best for me to apply. I also have 4 years of experience working in a dialysis clinic.

panamagrama!!!!! I got news for you, L.P.N.'s do have to have the courses in Chemistry, Microbiology and higher level Math Classes SO the best thing for you to do is get down off that high horse you think that you're riding on and put your feet on the ground because Darlin it's a long ways to fall when you "THINK" you know it all and another thing LVN not only stands for "Texas" L..P.N.'s it also stands for a lot of other States not only Texas and as far as the an L.P.N. not having knowledge I had much rather have an L.P.N. take care of me any day of the week then an R.N. who thinks she is too good to get her hands a little dirty because she has to touch a patient to assess them!! Give me a break because SweetHeart I have been there and done that and there's nothing that you can say to me that I care to hear or read. Now when you get your head out of your butt then talk like a Professional and not an IDIOT because we are all in this together. Just like I said before, "Help everybody and do the job right and learn as you go and believe me you will have the best Staff that you could ever want." You need to learn to listen and be patient and not push or shove, we are all in this together to make the patients better and give them a kind and caring and appreciated way of Life, to treat them with Respect and Diginity as if they were one of our own family members and to also treat the other Nurses (no matter what their Title is) with Respect. We're all here together to make a difference in other people's lives.

aichuasa well said!!! As for nursepractice your comment was ugly and not needed.

Nursepatrice, you need to walk in an R.N.s shoes before you open your mouth like that... It is much more involved than you perceive. You are wrong when you say the only thing you can't do that an R.N. can do is pass meds. We need CNAs, LPNs/LVNs, and RNs, You are paid according to your position and the amount of education you have, after that you gain more pay according to you experience and sometimes how well you do your job. Everyone chooses their own path, if you want to be recognized more for the responsibilities and the skills you have, you need to go on and get your degree.

I KNOW ITS BEEN A WHILE SINCE YOU WERE A CNA, ZOZOSDADDY,KINGSSPOT1, AND SOME OF YOU MIGHT HAVE JUST WENT TO SCHOOL TO BE AN R.N. BOOK SMARTS ARE NOT ALWAYS WHAT THEM SEEM.. I AGREE THAT CNA'S SHOULD BE PAID MORE FOR WHAT THEY DO, ( i.e. the R.N.'s job).. BEFORE, YES PEOPLE WENT TO SCHOOL FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS, BUT I WENT FOR 6MOS.. I CAN TAKE VITAL SIGNS, WOUND CARE, I CAN DRAW BLOOD, ENTERAL FEEDINGS, AND A LOT OF OTHER THINGS THAT AN R.N. COULD DO.. THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT I DON'T HAVE A DEGREE AS AN R.N.. YOU SEE THE ONLY THING AN R.N. CAN DO THAT I CAN'T IS PASS MED.. I DON'T KNOW WHAT PLANET YOU LIVE ON, BUT I DIDN'T PAY $400 FOR SCOOL EITHER, IT WAS SUBSTANTUALLY ALOT MORE.. SO IF YOU WEREN'T SO HIGH AND MIGHTY WITH YOUR R.N. BOOK DEGREE SHOVED SO FAR UP YOUR BUTT, YOU WOULD THAT THE CNA'S ACTUALLY DO YOUR JOB.. BESIDES IF THER WERE NO CNA'S YOU POMPAS R.N.'S WOULD ACTUALLY HAVE TO WORK.!!!!!
