Those who want to enter the medical field can find something that fits their particular talents. These jobs on the whole pay well, are challenging and are rewarding in the help that is provided to patients. Doctors are one of the front line professionals who diagnose, treat and monitor sickness and injury. The schooling is involved, with an average range of six to eight years to complete. Medical school can be daunting in the amount of work, time and effort that is involved, but those who finish enter a residency and later on the profession.
Nurses are the other front line members of the medical team who aid in treatment, care of monitoring of patients. They also have to undergo a rigorous educational program that leads to certification and employment. Nurses work long shifts, deal with stress and be able to think on their feet. An organized, quick mind and attention to detail help a nurse to be effective on the job.
EMT’s, or emergency medical technicians, are first responders that handle trauma at the site of the injury or accident. They stabilize patients and then transport them to the hospital for further treatment. EMT training starts with an educational program designed specifically for their job role. Training in taking vitals, treatment of severe and minor wounds along with other medical training prepares them for the rigors of the job. These individuals must be able to lift heavy loads, handle stress and work quickly in traumatic situations.
CNA’s, or Certified Nurse’s Assistants, support other medical staff in patient care. They take vitals as needed, help patients bathe, change linens and provide a number of other services. They play an essential role in maintaining a continuum of care for those in the hospital, and do tasks that free other staff to do more important jobs. CNA’s can attend a program that lasts in the range of eight to sixteen weeks that provides certification. They learn how to properly lift and move a patient, read vitals and related aspects of patient care.
These jobs are just a few of the many that are required within a health care setting.
