What is the easiest medical career that receives the most money?

What’s a nurse practitioner?
My mom studied to be an x-ray technician, but do they have to do lift injured people? My mom and I are very small so it might not work very well.

Physical or Occupational Therapy may be an option. They require 4 year degrees. Unfortunately, you’re going to need to take plenty of chemistry for any well-paying medical career.

Well for occupational therapy, there may not be a chemistry requirement but for the field itself, one will most likely need to lift patients or help them to stand or sit, if even during their hands-on clinical experience. And that is especially true for the physical therapy field. You are smart to know your limitations as I have difficulty with memory and chemistry myself. And just btw, a nurse practitioner is first a registered nurse (BSN) bachelor of science in nursing and then enters a master’s degree program for nurse practitioner who can diagnose, treat and prescribe meds for patients under supervision of a medical doctor. However, if one has problems with memory, nursing (including nursing assistant which also involves a lot of lifting and positioning of patients) doesn’t sound like the right field as you seem to already realize :)
Perhaps you can think about a career with an administrative edge to it such as health information technology (medical records technician) which is typically an associate’s degree while the ‘health information administrator’ (used to be referred to as ‘medical records administrator’) generally has a bachelor’s degree. They don’t really work with patients per se but deal with confidential information and perhaps other health care professionals and workers. Perhaps you can look into your local community college or state university.

CNA,NURSING,occupational therapy, phyiscal therapy will all burn you out pretty fast because they are very physical jobs.

Those fields require tons of lifting and moving patients .
WOW i cant believe someone actually said CNA!!! That job is so physically intense. The reason there is a nursing shortage is cause people leave the field after find out the truth. So they have to restock the field.

Those fields also have high turnover due to the physical labor. You can injure your back then you need physical therapy
LOL!!!

You should look into pushing paperwork!!
Health care administar. health information, if your pretty and can talk pharamactieal sales would be good!!!

If you want to clincal maybe sonographer, psychologist, pharmacy

oh yeah
and easy and most money dont go together in the medical field.

You are dealing with peoples lives here!!!

Forget about the money and do what you love!!!
