What is the difference between a Medical istant and a Registered Nurse?
I want to go into the medical field but i want to be more than just a nurse. I wanted to be a doctor but that's too much school and too much money. So i thought a Physicians istant would be close enough but that is still a lot of both. And so i heard about medical isting and i wanted to know what they are responsible for as in their duties and their yearly and or hourly salary and same for the registered nurse, their duties and salaries. Thanks- You do not need anything more than a high school diploma or GED. M. A. 's are about as low as you can be in the medical field and I personally would never allow an M. A. to ist in anything other than cleaning empty exam rooms or sharpening pencils. They certainly do not belong inside an exam room with a patient. You're better off being anything else unless you want to avoid any kind of education
- Well, a medical istant is an entry level position; makes about $9 - 15 / hour. They ist PAs, MDs, NPs, etc. They do front office & back office. Back office consists of helping prepare patients for exams, isting, do vision checks, hearing, setting up trays, some medications, wound care, etc. I think most people have explained nursing thoroughly on the health care site. But you initially state you want to more than a nurse. so would you be happy as a nurse? There are many areas to nursing - you can do some exploration research to see if one area appeals to you
- It depends on your financial situation and how much time you want to Spend in College, what you will need to become a Medical istant, is a High School Cert. or GED, or some Colleges may give you an Entrance Exam to see if you Qualify. As for the Wages it Varies, and depends on your Experience, I would guess $9 - 15 per hr. Responsibilities are Front and Back office Duties, which involves Triarge, Phlebotomy, UA's, taking Vitals / Height / Weight / Logging Patients Info on Computer etc. , before the Doctor visits the Patient. As for a Register Nurse, RN you do not want to Cl them with Medical istants love} or you may make a few Enemies before you Start. smile!. RN's Education is more Intense and Lots more College and Money than MA's, you can become a Medical istant in less than a Year at some Colleges, and if you were to take the "Limited X - Ray", {which is an et} course which is Offered by most Colleges is another 3 - 4 months max, so you're looking at less than 18 months of School. As for Finances?, try for a Grant, most Colleges will help you with the Paper work. Well Lizzard 3!, Crawl right under all the Stress, and Rock 'N' Roll all over this thing until till its Done
