Well, I just got laid off, so I am in search of a job... I have yet to do anything in the Medical field, so I have literally ZERO experience... Up till two weeks ago I was doing electrical work on new homes, but the industry is very slow on building Single Family homes...
Well now that I am looking, I thought it would be a good idea to get into something Medical if I can... I don't have a CNA or anything like that, my background is Business Management, Office Management, and the like...
Is there anything I can do in the Medical field right now as I go through School??? I would like to do something with the Kids or Pathology / Morgue... lol, yeah I know it is two extremes from each other, but that is my interest... If I have to do Data Entry that is cool too, but I just want to get my feet wet, one way or another, since I am pursuing this filed...
What can I do or what should I ask is available for someone with no Degree or Cert.???
Thanks guys and girls!!!!
Ciao,

in your post i could not quite understand what you are asking; but based on some of the things you stated; i think you are basically describing the situation that i was in. i was in sales for many years and the company i worked for went out of business; so i went to nursing school with no background and no prior medical experience. i did finish nursing school, but i must say it was tough. i guess what you should know is that if you are in nursing school and you reach a certain level usually 3rd or 4th, you should be able to find a job as a tech or a cna. many hospitals will take your nursing school clinical training as experience and hire you. of course its beneficial to them because when you finish school you may want to stay on at that hospital as an rn. i think that is the end goal for most people that do this and the hospitals that hire them. its a win-win many times.
