AmberDean92 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Hello all! I am currently a senior at my university and will be graduating in May 2014. The PA program I will be attending begins January 2015. I will be moving back home with my parents after graduation until I start PA school to save money. I of course want to get a job during this time and be productive, and I would obviously like it to be healthcare related rather than working at a restaurant or something like that. I am a CNA and got my HCE by working in nursing homes & home health. I would really like to do something different since I have worked that job for so many hours. The thing is, I don't want to work insane hours because I also want to enjoy my time off while I can. I have looked at CNA type jobs at my local hospital but I'm afraid I would just be working 24/7. I have looked into EMT but the amount of training I would have to do would take more time than I would like being that I only have a certain amount of time off. I also really wanted to become a medical scribe, but all of the training programs I have seen want you to be able to work at least a year, and I only have 8 months. So, with all of that being said, does anyone have any ideas of some kind of job I can work that is healthcare related, doesn't require a whole lot of training, and won't require me to work all of the time? I know this is probably far-fetched, but any feedback is helpful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaheen100 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Well I'm currently taking a sophmore level principles of A&P class as a review, and I spend 30 minutes a day reviewing med term flash cards.I'm interested in any tips on other things I could be doing to prepare for what I know will be a difficult year...

AREID Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 What about riding along w firefighter/paramedics? You don't need any training as you would essentially be observing. But you would see some cool things and could ask the medics questions along the way Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMann Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Many schools have accelerated EMT Basis courses that are available. Like six weeks accelerated. You could complete that and legitimately get 5 months of actual work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
