dove 0 #1 November 7, 2002 OK - I just applied to one of the local hospitals for VERY LOW LEVEL positions just to get into a healthcare setting. I will also be volunteering - preferably in the Family Waiting Rooms (I remember how awesome the volunteer was that helped me communicate with my mom when I was in recovery.) I have also been looking into accelerated programs in Nursing - though I am still also seriously considering becoming a PT or Sonographer. This is exciting! I am not making any money currently so even if I only make pennies an hour or nothing for volunteer, at least I'll gain some practical experience and it will help me decide if this career change is the right one for me. Wish me luck! I am so excited! Fall in dove. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dropdeded 0 #15 November 7, 2002 Right on Dove,I have decided that a career in the medical field is what I want to do.I was approved for a grant yesterday and I start a course called "Medical Emergency Management" the end of this month.I spend a lot of time at hospitals and in emergency rooms due to my wifes health.She has Lupus and its pretty advanced and it sure helps when the people that work in such places are caring and helpful.

skygal3 0 #19 November 7, 2002 dove, I am so happy for you! this way here you can get a feel for all of the different departments and see which one is for you...also, I am sure that once you find your spot, and are ready to go to school, most hospitals are willing to sponser you and help you with costs...this is a really good move!
