Patient care positions that require limited walking?

[brendan]

Hi!

Could anyone recommend some patient-facing careers/positions that don't require much/as much time on your feet as a typical nursing job might require?

My girlfriend is currently an MA, but an issue with her leg has made the demands of her current position / any similar position a little more than she can handle. The problem is, direct patient interaction (especially kids/elderly) is what she was born to do!

Any recommendations / tips are extremely appreciated!!!

If she is an MA how does that equate that she wont get thru school if she doesnt enjoy her current working conditions which could be overloading to her? How many times have you witnessed Techs or MA's expected to do all the grunt work because no one else wants to or believes because they are more educated shouldnt have to? We dont know what her typical day is like to judge her as being incapable of anything.

Did you even read the original post? She has an issue with her leg that is making it difficult for her to do her job. It's reasonable to assume that the issue is walking and/or standing. Show me a nursing program that would have limited walking and standing. It has nothing to do with her not enjoying her job. Nobody here would want her to stay in a job that she does not enjoy but that isn't the situation. Jeebus you're an angry elf.
