I want something in Health Care! ?

That's funny. I've worked as a Nursing istant and in other positions for 5 years and all I want is to get out of health care. I'm going to school for my IT degree because I feel that with the current state of health care I can actually help more people with IT insofar as my ability to help people educate themselves (I want to start my own computer business). I wanted to become an RN at one point but changed my mind. There are a lot of angles to take into consideration when thinking about health care but if you're really driven to help people, go get your Nursing istant certification (1 semester of cl) and do direct care work, that's how you most directly help people. As you move up in the field, LPN, RN, NP, PA, MD you actually become more distanced from the patients. As a nursing istant you bathe, feed, and dress patients, those that really need help. As an LPN or RN you p medications and do wound dressings and other things. As an NP or PA you ess patients and can prescribe medications (in many cases with an MD's cosignature), and well, you know what an MD does. There are many different roles for each level of expertise.
