rogfam Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 and get paid for it? lol but I'm serious... I need a job, but I'm not very marketable... I'm thinking LPN, but I need some income, like yesterday... so... Can anyone point me in the right direction, cause I haven't got a clue... I used to work at a hospital, but it's been like eight or nine years ago... I was more or less a nurse aid, (pysch tech) and I'd like something along those lines. But, I just got turned down for a medical assistant job, and I'm thinking I should go to school or something... Thanks for any input!

mitzu Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 How about working as a nurses aide in a hospital and going to school for an RN degree? Lots of hospitals offer paid tuition towards a nursing degree. I'm and RN, I definitely recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 There is a huge need for direct care workers to work with disabled individuals. Now most likely they won't pay you to go to school, but it is job where you can learn about passing medications and get on the job training that would help with any medical degree. I actually know of a Michigan Company that has homes in Oklahoma. PM me if you are interested and you can see if they are anywhere near you.

lilyjohn Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I work for Home Helpers. We do in home care non medical but of coarse a little medical knowledge is usually needed. They have chapters all across the country and the pay is better than most caregiver jobs. Better than most institutions and you can pretty much choose the hours that you want to work. That would make taking classes easy. There is always a tremendous need for caregivers to help people in their homes. I love my job. I get my heart broken everyday but in return I get so much. You may be able to find some kind of aide to help with schooling if you look around. Try calling one of the local colleges and ask about any programs available.
