Depending on which state you reside, 2 weeks to 6 months of training is required. I have been an advanced NA for 3 years, work in a hospital, and make a good salary. I found my job at the below website. Good Luck!

I'm a doctor.  There were several guys in my class that were late thirties, early forties.\n\nBut....you have to have completed several undergrad courses and taken the MCAT to get in.  Then 4 years of medical school.  Then anywhere from 3 to 7 post-graduate years of training.  \n\nYou can be a doctor.....better question is do you really want to make that kind of commitment?

It depends on the country you live in. I think after you graduate you will need to get a nursing school or something. It takes 3-4 years usually.

It depends where you are starting from.  If you happen to be a general surgeon and wish to upgrade then it would be around a two year program.  If you are just starting first grade then you would have quite a long way to go.

It depends on what you want to do.\n\nTo be a pediatrician, you will need to go to medical school and get an M.D.\n\nTo be a registered nurse (R.N.) or a licenced practical nurse (L.P.N.) you will need to go to nursing school.  LPNs go for about 2 years, RNs go for about 4.\n\nThere are also certified nursing assistants (C.N.A.) which is a very short program (usually about 6 weeks), but I think you would find few positions in pediactrics.\n\nThese days, LPN programs are taught at many technical schools and there is much financial aid available due to the fact that most areas are experiencing shortages of qualified nurses.  So if you are interested, I would highly reccommend it.  Good luck to you.

Well it depends, you have to become either an LPN or RN.  LPN usually takes about a year and a half to 2 years.  RN can take 2 to 4 years. \n\nYou become an RN and work specifically in pediatrics, you can even become certified.\n\nIt is best to talk to a nursing school in your area or a university that has a nursing program and ask them specific information.  They will be able to steer you in the right direction of what you should do and how to pursue this.  Nursing is a wonderful profession and children are certainly a blessing.  I hope that everything goes well...

physician assistant or PA is the highest level from among your list, both in terms of education, salary, and time required for a degree.  A PA functions like a doctor in many respects.  This is similar to a nurse-practitioner, or NP.\n\nNursing, look it up, pretty straight forward, there are lvn and RN, with RN there is a BSN and ADN ( 2 vs 4 yr degree)\n\nMedical assistant is a person who has very basic knowledge of medical office procedures and assists with blood pressures, etc..  Do you want to know something more specific?

you have to go to school or some equivalent of paramedic school. many colleges offer a paramedic program that usually takes about 18 months. my husband just got his paramedic about a year ago. it was very hard and takes a lot of dedication and studying. good luck!

two years for an associates degree or four for a bachelors degree, plus depending on the pre-requisites the school requires. There may also be a transition program if you already have an LVN or Paramedic license to go into the RN, that one takes less time.

It depends on where you live, Community colleges, and the best route. However, there are also private colleges that offer associates degrees, and others that you can complete on-line. If you live in Pa try Central Pennsylvania College, you can get an associates from them in 18 months.

I am not a doctor, but both my parents are, so although I can not give you a first-hand perspective, I can tell you that it is extremely demanding. My parents worked from 7am-9pm including weekends for the first years of their medical profession (more when they were interns and residents). Their schedule got to be a bit more flexible with time, but it requires 10 years and more to establish yourself as a recognized doctor and build a practice. You must constantly attend conferences and seminars and keep yourself updated with new research findings, practices, pharmaceuticals, etc. It's very demanding and unless you love it - unless it's your calling, I don't recommend it. But if this is really what you want to do, go for it and make it happen.
