pretty much anyone with an illness or disability or just need some full time physical therapy can be in a nursing home. i work in EMS and I've seen everything from young kids with mental retardation, MS and so on to elderly Alzheimer's patients, people who have had strokes and just need some rehabilitation to get back on their feet or people that are completely debilitated from a stroke. the list is endless...as long as you need full time/24 hr care. as for staff...its usually RN's, LVN's and CNA's and they usually have a Dr. that works as medical control. meaning if something happens they call him/her and see what they want done for the patient.

Well, you may want to consider working  in a rehab facility, since you're into ortho and geriatrics. Much less stress than working withthe acutely ill. With your advanced degrees, you can also work in administration, or as a teacher. You're right. The ideal job has to be out there. I'm still stressing away in my own ER. Good luck!

Try voluntary work for a while... or try elderly care, I know its at the end of the spectrum but they are sometimes willing to take without experience and it gives you the groundings of care.... but if not try voluntary, good luck

The baby boomers are getting older, so anything in the health field is a good place to use your skills. Even without having actual medical skills, jobs will abound on the corporate level, because even the health field needs keeping track of, where your own skills lie.\nSeek out jobs with major pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, vitamins & herbs companies, etc. You get the picture.

Definitely speak with your Doctor's office because there are many agencies available to seniors for medical equipment.  You could also contact Department of the Aging.

then you need to hit up the acs and look at medicinal, pharmaceutical, and organic chemists.  pay attention to bioorganic chemists as well.  you can try contacting chemists as well to see what they do.\n\ni can tell you this BS chemists are lab techs normally, MS chemists can supervise, and PhDs are in charge.\n\ni'm a bioorganic chemist going for a phd so i don't have to be someones lab slave.  i do research in acetylcholinesterase inhibitors which are the primary treatment for alzheimers.

If you are talking about the actual aging process then it is gerontology. If you are talking about the treatment and prevention of disease in the elderly, then it is geriatrics.

There are lots of great museum jobs.  It really depends on what sort of museum you'd like to work in.  A natural history museum?  An art museum?  A museum of science and technology? A cultural or historical museum?\n\nFolks who work at natural history museums often majored in some sort of science, like biology, zoology, or archaeology.  Folks who work in art museums almost always majored in art history.  Folks who work in museums of science and technology often majored in engineering, computer science, or history.  Folks who work in cultural or historical museums usually majored in anthropology, religious studies, or history.\n\nThere are also programs in curatorial studies (or museum studies) for people who want to work their way up to the highest positions in a museum (curator or director) but these programs are usually graduate programs. \n\nI hope this helps!
