Pehaps, you can enter pharmaceutical sales although I think you should use your nursing degree.  Nursing school is a lot of work and you should reap the benefits of that education.

Check out\nhttp://www.bls.gov\n\nClick on the Occupational Outlook Handbook link.  It's in the left-hand column towards the middle.  From there you can find info on salary- national and state statistics.\n\nRegistered nursing would most likely make you the most money.  You can get your ADN in about 2 years, after your prerequisites, of course.  Every shcool is different.  Thay make around $18 - $25 per hour, depending on experience and whether you work in a hospital, doctor's office, etc.

I'm not sure what your question is but I imagine you are asking opinions about what route to go.  In my opinion I would probably follow your nursing degree route for your bachelor's degree, but don't forget to take some tough biochemistry & biology courses.  A nurse practitioner typically works in an office setting and sees patients in a general setting.  I don't know of any who work in oncology, but women's health & a very few in pediatrics are there.  A physician's assistant is open to many many more options in my opinion.  I was originally going to be a PA until I decided to continue on to medical school.  As a PA you can work in almost any type of medical field and If I remember correctly you will make more money and tend to have more autonomy.  Ultimately, however, it's up to you and the field you want to pursue.  Finally, I believe the responsibilities and hospital privledges will steadily increase for PA's (including pay), but I'm not so sure about that same trend for NP's (it is possible).  Good luck

Pediatric Nurse, you can work in a hospital with the newborns. I had considered it when I was thinking about a career.

Registered Nurse, because it's much more diversified. You can go into pediatrics, geriatrics, O.R., E.R., hospital, nursing home, private care,  doctor's office, so many options. the others are specialized, and job opportunities will be more limited. As an R.N. you can go to work immediately in any city anywhere anytime. R.N.'s can make 50 bucks an hour,  and be the charge nurse, not "just" an assistant.

You can probably get a job as a\nPublic Relations Officer\nCommunication Officer\nExecutive Administrative Support

The 2 years experience is AFTER you have completed and obtained your nursing degree and your RN license.  You then work for 2 years in a hospital on one of their specialty areas...(I suggest you get your 2 years experience as an emergency room nurse, or an ICU nurse.  This will give you the best experience in a speciality area that is often looked for by the US hospitals.)  These two years of working on a hospital floor will allow you to get experience in ALL procedures and to give ALL types of medications.  As a student you can only do these under supervision... and that is not considered as fulfilling the 2 years experience that hospitals require.  After you have graduated, and completed your two years experience then you get your references and can come to the US.  You must be fluent in your English language skills... fluent in reading, writing and speaking English with patients, medical personnel and patient's relatives.  Many patients will not be able to understand dialects of a foreign language.  You will have to do your charting in English.  When you are ready to come to the US, get a US newspaper and look for ads in the classified area for hospitals looking to hire nurses.  Many will have hiring bonuses and may even help with the moving expenses... or get a US magazine or go on the Internet.  And yes, hospitals in the US need nurses... you may have to obtain a US nursing license by taking the RN exam after you get to the US... you better check this out and be prepared to retake your RN licensing exam again. Good luck...Signed... a BSN RN nurse

Certified Nursing Assistant is not hard, but, you may need to be sure where to do this. You may need to take you classes and/or certification test in Texas. This about all I know, but, it does not take long, maybe 6-12 months of training. I know people who do this, but, not real up on it. Check around the Corpus Cristie area on the Inet and see if you can find Info for schools. I will search a little too, no promises. Maybe someone give you more info than myself.\nWell, I am back. Not real good finding you something. But try these; \nhttp://www.top-colleges.com/v/medical.html?source=ov-tc-can\nhttp://universityofphoenix-info.com/index.html\nIt look like it may require a 2 year degree (A.A.S. Associate of Applied Science (I guess)).\nBut, if you can contact a College you may at least feel them out for more Information on this. Sorry I not know more. :-( Most Technical Schools or Colleges can do a LPN in 2 years, and it better pay. ;-p

Hi, it depends on what interests you.  If you have a business bend you might consider health administration.  If you enjoy talking with and helping folks how about medical social work?  The best approach for you might be to talk to your college's career counsellor and even take an aptitude test to see where your skills/interests lay.  Most universities offer them for free for students.

an associates in nursing will get you places.

I'm a critical care registered nurse @ $38/hr.  This is a very promising career and great job stability. But, nursing is not for everyone. Lots of patience needed her especially when patient's families get involved. Big responsibilities and you'll see doctors are people also. If you can stand blood and other bodily fluids, this is the career of the future.\n\nYou have a choice: two year associate's degree in nursing or a bachelor's degree (4yr). There is no difference recognized unless after 10 years of experience, someone's looking to promote a nurse for a managerial position.  In short, just work in patient care as a nurse as oppose to going through all that headache and politics as a nurse manager.

I think they would accept any major.  But you would need a good background in chemistry, biology, and math.  Figure out which school you'd like to attend and then check for specific requirements.  If that doesn't work out you could always go into nursing, a field that will boom as there is a major need for nurses right now, and really good pay too.

laboratory technician?\nUniversity, Hospital, Pharmaceutical company.\nThis depends on the skills you acquired in your laboratory classes though. Keep going for your Bachelor's

Go to your nearest community college, get a copy of the curriculum offered and ask to make an appointment w/an career advisor.  They can give you a test to help determine your best academic field and interests.  Hopefully, you'll find a health care profession interesting to you as there are openings in the health care field all over the country.  Vet tech is another field that is growing with a wide range of possibilities.  Good luck!

If I were you, I'd go back to school. First of all, to be honest, $12.00 is no where near what you could make with even an Associates Degree under your belt. Second, a degree is like an insurance policy. You can use it to advance with your current employer, or get a better, stable job in an in-demand field. \n\nYou can go part time, or full time. And you'll be surprised at the number of "older" students you see in your classes! In fact, some schools offer special programs specifically for older students. It may be worth it to ask about them when you call the admissions office. \n\nMost students pay for their education through a combination of loans and school given, need-based aid. You'll fill out a form called a FAFSA (you can google this), which is sent to the schools you're applying to. They use it to calculate your aid. \n\nI highly recommend that you go to a reputable, brick and mortar campus. Most employers frown on the online programs. Yes, there are some reputable online programs (those tied to real, brick and mortar campuses), but online schools are remarkably expensive. You mentioned cost as a factor, so I don't recommend an online program for you unless you absolutely, positively can not attend classes in person. \n\nYou can save money, and get a great education, by attending your local state school. As an in-state student, you're already paying lower tuition. \n\nMany students of your age chose to attend a school that will grant them an Associates Degree after two years of study. They then go on for their Bachelors Degree, if they feel it is necessary. The best place to get an Associates is at your local community college. They are amazingly cheap, you don't have to take any sort of test to get in, and the education offered is a fantastic value. \n\nIf you chose to go back to school, and your goal is to make more money than you are now, try to major in something career-focused. In fact, there are a lot of careers which require only the Associates Degree as the ticket to entry. \n\n- Lots of careers in the medical field only require a 2-year degree. Nursing, radiology, medical assistant, physician's assistant, laboratory technician, several others. \n- Many office-related careers require an associates. Try office administration: administrative assistant, legal secretary, marketing assistant, sales operations. \n- Information technology. There are some IT jobs that require only a 2-year degree, like computer support technician. \n- Accounting: Also some in accounting, like accounts payable processor, claims administrator. \n\nAnd here are a bunch of others, all of which hire directly out of associates programs (although for many, you'll do an internship/apprenticeship while you get your associates)\n\n-Automotive technology\n-Electrician\n-Childcare\n-Engineering technician\n-Funeral director\n-Paralegal\n-And a lot in the agricultural sciences, such as turf management (graduates of strong turfgrass management associates programs can work on a golfcourse and earn HUGE money), aboriculture, forestry, fruit tree management. \n-Drafting\n-Law enforcement\n-Fire safety\n\nI've attached a really good link on this topic. It deals with occupational outlooks for careers where an associates degree is the ticket in.\n\nGood luck. Again, 36 isn't too old at all. It simply means that you may want to major in something very career-focused, since your goal is to get in, get the degree, and get a good job.
