      @@brianmartin141 hey so i know you commented 4 months ago, but if your still unsure about what career you want make sure your really do your research. Right now im a junior in high school but i'm in a pre-nursing program and all i can say is that i did not expect this when i signed up for it. I definitely think that nursing is very stressful and the stress varies in the type of nursing you do. At the end of the school year when i finish this program (if i decide to stay) i'm gonna get my stna but i'm definitely starting to look into a different path. If your interested in a career within healthcare, my best advice is to really do your research because i've been doing some and there are plenty different types of careers in healthcare than just nursing and becoming a doctor. lmk if you have any questions, i'll be glad to answer.

    If you’re considering the nursing route you can get your associates degree and many of the healthcare organizations will pay you to complete your bachelors. Having your nursing degree allows you to work in hospitals, clinics, schools, etc. There’s opportunities where you’re not a bedside nurse or have minimal to no interaction with patients.

    It’s so interesting to see the American requirements, I’ve been deciding between OT & PT, in Australia you can do either a Bachelors, Masters or Doctorate just depending on what the uni offers there’s no minimum... I just finished my Bachelors in Health Science & leaning more towards OT because it’s way cheaper & the contact hours are a little less than PT! This was great insight 🤗
    Also you can become a Healthcare Assistant (for either OT or PT) with just a Certificate (basically level below Associates degree, associates degree aren’t very popular here) -neither are Doctorate degrees actually but some unis run them to attract international students because of the international requirements haha

    Registered nurses needs a minimum of associate degree. I started my RN with associates degree. I am now a psychiatric nurse practitioner. Majority of my colleagues make over $200k yearly because here in California there is a shortage of psychiatric provider. Also as an NP, you are allowed to open your own practice. I currently have my own telepsychiatry clinic. Even before the pandemic , telepsychiatry was becoming the norm. Now with covid , the need for telepsych providers exploded. Almost all insurances now pay for virtual visit. You can work anywhere you want as long as you have computer and internet. :)

      I’m so glad this video served you. I love it when you are searching for a specific answer on CZcams and it gets answered in one video. In my opinion, both professions are in demand and growing. I think it would really depend on what body part you would like to work with? If it’s mostly the throat and mouth, then for sure speech therapy you know? But if it’s more globally and typically the upper body, then OT is a good way to go. I can’t imagine looking at people’s throats and mouths all day.. haha that’s just me!

    • @thenopedetective
      @thenopedetective Před 2 lety +1

      (this may or may not be relevant a year later, but in case others are interested) Depends highly on where you live! If you're in Canada you can look on Canada Job Bank Analysis of Occupation and search your area. Occupational therapy is pretty easy to find full time after 1 year of work in most provinces. A few of my friends who are SLPs have had difficulty finding full time work. However, there are benefits to casual work/multiple jobs. If you have no health concerns and are young, casual pay is often quite a bit higher, but no contributions to RRSPs or healthcare insurance. I imagine the States is similar in that it varies per location and area of practice (hospital, private, etc.). I'm an occupational therapist and found it very easy to find a job out of school, but starting pay was approx $68000.

There is a Masters programme that can get me a physiotherapy degree & it would leave me stuck in Hong Kong. But I'm so passionate about movement. My degree is so useless in career switching lol so I am considering these medical field roles just so I can get back to the US. I actually have a passport in Canada so that's an option too. Are there people that ended up in healthcare roles that really ended up enjoying it? Just like anyone else, I love studying and learning so a career where it has versatility & I can be around people (social interaction) would be awesome. I think I narrowed it down to the healthcare industry since I love being of service to others but I think the most amount of schooling I can handle is 3 years.
