I hope you mean Certified Nurses Aid, not Certified Nurse Anesthesist.   You could also be a laboratory aid, a phlebomotist, an X ray assistant, a driver for a medical lab, ER tech. list is only limited to the openings in your area.

You could look into becoming a sales rep for a medical device company or a pharmaceutical company. From what I'm told (my husband's a doctor, so he sees these guys all the time), the pay is good, the perks are good, and you get to talk to interesting people while kind of running your own day.

Hey I gave one of those old women a bad time.  \n\nI am writing from my hospital bed.  The Doctor says I should be out of traction in about 3 months.  Then we can do the reconstructive surgery.  All together I expect to be home in 8 or 9 months.  If I make it in less than 9 months I will be able to celebrate my 21St birthday at home.  Unfortunately the Doctor tells me my jaw will still be wired shut, but what the heck I am getting used to milkshakes.  BTW, it is not Kung-Fu, it is Louisville Slugger, and believe me I know.\n\nJust having some fun.  Actually I am a senior citizen and although I don't work at Wal-Mart I know three other seniors who do.  None of them need the money, they all work part time, it gives them a reason to keep living.  Personally my wife keeps me busy and I am considering doing some volunteer work at an local aviation museum.  Too many retired folks don't have a timeclock to punch anywhere.  Hence, they lay in bed and die...\n\nKEEP MOVING STAY YOUNG.

I think anything that blends medicine and IT together will be a money making machine. If you're independent IT, solicit to hospitals. IF you're not and you're looking for full tiem work, that might be a little harder to find because they might not know that they need you !

If that is what you have your heart set on...do it.  Don't listen to what other people say.  Do what you wanna do.  \n\nOnce qualified, there are a number of specialist areas of in which Dietitians may work. \nExamples of these include:\n\n- Paediatrics\n- Community Dietetics \n- Nutrition of the Elderly Person\n- Oncology\n- Mental Health \n\nDoes any of them sound interesting to YOU?

I suspect that early retirement would be the best option for all concerned at the age of 57.  Ill health early retirement might be possible in the case of serious ill health which is defined in your pensions scheme rules.  This is the same as early retirement except that your pension is not reduced by quite as much. (also there may be restrictions on what other jobs he can take)\n\nEarly retirement may require a reduction in pension.\n\nThe pension scheme and employer may be able to compromise over a half way solution between full ill-health and early retirement pension if he suggests it.\n\nIf he is happy to continue working in the job, then compulsory redundancy would almost always result in enhanced early retirement pension at his age.  \n\nIt is really something that ought to be arranged between the employer and the employee.

I would start with physical therapy departments at the hospitals in your area.  Some hospitals offer classes about proper body mechanics.  also the educational department at some hospitals might have information/classes on caring for people with Alzheimers.

You could go freelance and clean people's houses. Just make sure to do a good job (especially the bathroom, yeech!). Just make sure they pay cash, you can charge at least 10 dollars per room, or 50 or 60 bucks per house. You can put up ads in bulletin boards around where you live (some stores have them for free).  Lots of older people want people to clean their houses.  \n\nYou could also offer a dog walking service, but check to make sure there aren't laws or anything about that where you live.  \n\nI heard about someone who got real rich operating their own pooper scooper pick up service, you could try that too. Just make sure to do a good job, then ask them for a referral to a friend.

I worked as a receptionist (after school while in high school) at the company that my dad owned; I worked in a daycare center at a migrant farm laborer camp, I worked as a secretary for a construction company, I worked in the secretarial pool at the District Attorney's office, I worked at various clerical positions through a temporary employment service, I worked as an emergency medical technician, I worked as a pumper in the oilfields (taking care of the oil wells on a small oilfield lease and heating and shipping the oil once the production tanks were full) for a friend of mine who had a contract to operate the lease - I did this while I was going to college part-time. I also did home health care for awhile. About 5 years ago I graduated from a medical transcription program, and recently started my own medical transcription business. Best of luck to you and stay in college - you will NEVER regret getting a good education.

You could work in mental health which is the Life Skills office on the base hospital. You work for psychologists and help treat patients as well. Keep in mind that with war and all you would be talking to war vets with some deployment issues. Just talk to a recruiter.

Keep physically and mentally active.  Participate in activities that you have always wanted to but couldn't because of time.  Eat the proper foods.  Get plenty of fresh air and exercise. Be a community volunteer . . . work in a school or at the hospital or with Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts.  Take a class at your community education center.  Learn a new skill because you are never too old to learn.  Become a Master Gardener if you are interested in gardening.  Write a book on your life experiences.  Spend time with your family . . . travel if you have the money.  Do anything and everything!  Just remember . . . that it is very important to keep busy and to remain healthy.  Good luck in your retirement!  Wish I was retiring soon also!
