What about healthcare management with say a minor in IT? I only ask because I might not have the desired credits for health informatics. I want to get certified in Epic billing.

I am a medical biller/coder intrested in getting certified in EPIC. I have a 2 year degree Business Administration from a community college and a CPC(certified professional coder) designation. I am trying to figure out the best educational route to get certified in EPIC. Do I finish my 4 year degree in business admin and then try and get epic cerfitied? Can I get EPIC certified without it based on my experience as a biller? Do I go get some sort of nursing designation? Additional info I am 25 years old. I have aspergers. I don't want to work for Epic. So, from what I understand on these forums, my only option is to get a hospital/orginization to sponser me from. What is the best place to start?

I guess to be fair. If a guy gets all fat and out of shape.......no one cares. If a girl isn't a supermodel(i dont expect this btw) a lot of guys give her ****:devil:

We haven't really reached full eqaulity yet... Right now, its more like women are 30% providers while men are 70% providers. Give it another 10 years when a full transition takes place

I find it especially hard that any guy expects to be supported PERIOD!!!!!!!:uhoh3: I'm surprised this thread exist. What type of world do we live in where men expect to get free handouts. Makes me want to slap them silly. I guess these men dont care what other people think of them....

I guess this was unfair. I've just been turned down by a substantial amount of women WITHIN my own economic class because of my bad job. It's wrong for me to classify all women as gold diggers. Anyway, yes I think it's selfish to enter a profession that involves peoples LIVES merely to meet a doctor. I also think it's selfish to enter Nursing SOLEY for the money. .and your work involves taking care of physically/mentally sick people. If you strive to be just a moderatly good nurse, you might end up killing someone over a good nurse. I say we eliminate the pest who enter any healthcare profession for the money. I've seen them way too much. I'm JUST a transporter. However, I take my job VERY VERY seriously....I go slow over the speed bumps...I make sure to get a warm blanket for a patient:p

I find it somewhat entertaining that there are ACTUALLY men who expect a women to support them. I guess it's hard me to to wrap my head around the concept.:confused: Now, there are plenty of women I have seen in the medical field looking for a meal ticket:yawn:

Good answers. I guess my final question is. If I was a nurse married to say another nurse....could I make enough to save for when im old? Dont really plan on having kids.....I just dont want them to have to go through a couple decades of hell like I did

Yep, that isnt selfish at ALL now is it? Why don't I just enter a profession where lives are at stake and do a bad job.....but hey as long as I meet a doctor right?:uhoh3: Anyway, I have no intentions of leeching of a doctor,pharmasist or any other women for that matter. It's very socially un-acceptable for men to do this. Men rarley date women with better jobs than them. It makes us feel uncomfortable. I guess this is just an aspie perspective. However, we really don't like to date women with better jobs than us. I think I heard of one nurse who was dating a doctor.....might be an exception though

definatly a hard worker.....took me NEARLY a decade to get into bodybuilder shape.....and i worked my ******* (pardon my language)ass off each year too.......one of the hardest workers at work!!!! Definatly will to change and take self critism I guess as long as I am posting on a Nursing forum, how many young women pursue nursing simply to marry a doctor/pharmasist. At my hospital, it seems like quite a bit.

That seems like a good option. I like working in hospitals and want a moderate ammount of repsect x-ray tech just seems kind of lame

Unfourtantly, I don't have the luxory of "exploring." I'm a guy having a "below average job" i at my age s pretty much the ONLY thing holding be back from dating. Like, plenty of women interested in me(Im a bodybuilder with a sweet personaility), but just can't date me due to my job. Like a lot are turned off by it....even in this economy! Nursing seems like a job I would enjoy with a moderate ammount of respect.

Which is fine. I just don't know if I could handle it. At 23....I want to make sure There are certian things that used to REALLY stress me out even as a transporter. Like, sometimes you get patients who just LOVE to throw insults at you to try and get you to mentally break down. You have to just stand there and do nothing. Also, you get into a lot of socially awkward scenerios that are hard to handle I would come home crying trying to get myself together....Eventually I just got used to it.

Well, let me give a little background information on me. I'm a 23 year old autistic. However, I'm an aspie... Anyway, I have spent years fixing my problems....... 1.) Was really skinny. Now, I am a 180 pound bodybuilder 2.) I was unable to hold employement. I have worked in a hospital for a couple years as a transporter 3.) I am able to mask my aspergers so well to the point where no one see's it. Anyway, I decided that I want a more complex job within a hospital. So, I am considering going back to school for Nursing. Sadly, I have this hunch that I really won't make it very far in the program due to how my brain is just genetically wired. Although, I have worked in a hospital for a few years now and met a lot of people who were socially off...... Took a watered down anatomy class and it was VERY hard for me. I just can't see myself getting far in Nursing. So, I considered doing something else like x-ray tech. Any advice? I think I would like helping patients get on the path to feeling better
