|
I have always wanted to be part of the medical fraternity, but somehow I have messed up while choosing the right career. I have worked as a medical representative for three years, and then did a brief stint with an insurance agency. I still want very much to go into the medical field. What do you think are my chances? Isn’t my CV too odd for applying in this line?
Also interested in alternative nursing careers
I am a RN BSN nurse and I am very happy with my work. However, due to sudden ill health I do no think I can continue with my nursing job. Since I love the medicine field, I am trying to apply for a medical transcription job. Do you think my nursing background is sufficient qualification for this job? I am good at typing and am comfortable with computers. Did anyone cross over from nursing to this job? I want to know the pros and cons of this decision. Please share your experience and advice.
Burn out after only nine months as a nurse?
I am working as a nurse in a surgical ward (have BSN in nursing). Not even nine months passed and I feel that I have made a big mistake in choosing this career. I simply hate the job and I don’t think I can carry on this way. The problem is that I love caring for the sick, but I am unable to do this in the present job. Is this a passing phase? Did this happen to anyone else? Should I leave nursing and look for another career?
Please guide me. |

To become a Medical Transcriptionists one does not require specialised IT skills but it requires primary skills like good listening and language skills and knowledge of medical terms. Since you are a RS BSN nurse i don't think you will have any difficulty with medical terminology.
Transcription services range from small, one-person home-based businesses to sophisticated, high-tech corporations which employ transcriptionists. So you can work from home and continue with you nurse job or take it as full time job. |
