Trauma Nurse

Trauma Nurse
Duties and Responsibilities: Nurses registries that work in hospitals or stand-alone emergency departments. Emergency/ Trauma nurses provide care to patients who have suffered serious and sometimes life-threatening physical injuries e.g. Car accidents, work related injuries and suicide attempts. These injuries can potentially result in secondary complications such as respiratory failure, shock and death.
The main duties of an Emergency / Trauma Nurse include:
·       Providing care to patients in an emergency situation.
·       Administering emergency procedures e.g. code blue and CPR.
·       Acting fast and thinking on their feet.
·       Handling complex and difficult situations.
·       Operating healthcare machines.

Salary: $64,690

Education: They must start their venture with basic nursing training. They must also work to become a licensed registered nurse. Registered nurses are required to obtain a diploma, associate’s degree, or bachelor’s degree. However, if they want to become a trauma nurse, it is required that they earn a bachelor degree. Even if they earn a bachelor degree (BSN), it is recommended that they become certified as a trauma nurse specialist (TNS), or a Certified Emergency Nurse (CEN). This may be accomplished through the Board of Certification in Emergency Nursing. The certifications are awarded after you pass the 16-hour course. While trauma nurse certification is not necessarily required, the ones who possess it certainly have an edge when it comes to the perception of potential employers.




REFLECTION: I think  that never I can be a a trauma nurse because that work is very hard, difficult and stressful while, I don't like see much blood or people sick because alter  me.

Athletic Trainer



Athletic Trainer
Duties and Responsibilities: Are health care professionals who collaborate with physicians to provide preventative services, emergency care, clinical diagnosis, therapeutic intervention and rehabilitation of injuries and medical conditions. Athletic training is often confused with personal training. There is, however, a large difference in the education, skillset, job duties and patients of an athletic trainer and a personal trainer. Athletic trainers provide physical medicine, rehabilitative and preventative services. Athletic trainers treat a breadth of patients, including but not limited to: professional, college, secondary school and youth athletes, dancers, musicians and military personnel. Athletic trainers work can work in a variety of locations including schools, physician clinics, and hospitals and manufacturing plants.
Salary: $38,681
Education: The minimum requirement for most athletic trainer positions is a bachelor's degree, but many of these professionals have a graduate degree. Athletic training bachelor's programs incorporate classroom and hands-on learning. The curricula include science and health-related subjects, such as nutrition, kinesiology, bio-mechanics and exercise physiology. Experience requirements include supervised time in clinics and internships, which may be with a college or local professional sports teams. Athletic training programs cover many healthcare-related areas, including pharmacology, acute care and pathology. Because many trainers go on to earn a master's degree, some schools offer a five-year joint bachelor's and master's program. Other programs may require students to complete prerequisites before they are admitted.






Reflection: I think that I don’t like be an athletic trainer because the salary is no is much and you should be very prepared for be one and you have do your work very carefully.

anesthesiologist

Anesthesiologist
Duties and Responsibilities: Are the physicians trained to administer and manage anesthesia given during a surgical procedure. They are also responsible for managing and treating changes in your critical life functions - breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure - as they are affected by the surgery being performed. Further, they immediately diagnose and treat any medical problems that might arise during and immediately after surgery. Prior to surgery, the anesthesiologist will evaluate the patient's medical condition and formulate an anesthetic plan which takes that patient's physical condition into account. It is vital that the anesthesiologist knows as much about your medical history, lifestyle, and medications as possible.
Salary: $350,554
Education: The profession requires at least a bachelor’s degree with an emphasis in the sciences such as chemistry and biology. If possible, students should attend an accredited college or university with a good science or pre-med program. This is a competitive field and excellent academics are required for entry into medical programs. The required GPA for many institutions is 3.0, although applicants may find that they need a minimum of 3.4 in order to get accepted. Students preparing for graduate school should take the GRE or MCAT. Depending upon the school, one of these pre-admission tests is required. (Either test can be retaken to achieve a higher score.)Apply to an accredited school that grants anesthesiologist assistant degrees. The American Academy of Anesthesiologist Assistants lists the ten or so schools that offer a master’s program in this area. Programs offering a Master’s of Science in Nursing (MSN) in anesthesia are completely different, requiring a Bachelor’s Degree in nursing prior to admission. Prospective anesthesiologist assistants should talk to the school’s career counselor advisory at every level of education in order to avoid costly mistakes. The AA program takes a full 24 months to complete, and only full-time study is allowed. The program itself is rigorous and requires long, demanding hours, especially during the clinical component. Didactic and clinical classes may be scheduled seven days per week on occasion. The two years of this program afford students only a limited number of short, scheduled breaks.



Reflection: I don’t think me can be an anesthesiologist  because you need study so much and when I study I don’t want study much and many years, while you need since of high school start to study because need many knowledge.
