How to Determine if a Healthcare Career is Right for You

With so many new and tempting career fields available, how do you decide which one is right for you? Those of us in the healthcare field are granted the distinct privilege of supporting other human beings at times when they are most vulnerable.

Whether providing direct or indirect patient care, conducting critical diagnostic tests, managing a patient’s private information, developing new treatments, or keeping the technology infrastructure running, a patient’s well-being depends on numerous moving parts and the quality of each job done.

Choosing your healthcare career path can be both exciting and overwhelming because of the many options available today. I hope to provide guidance as you explore opportunities and take the next step toward fulfilling your career goals.

Ask yourself some questions

If you desire to help others, participate in science, be part of a team, be continually challenged, or find job security, then a healthcare career could be for you. Ask yourself:

• Why am I considering a healthcare career?
• What are my skills and strengths?
• What type of environment will I feel comfortable in?

A career in healthcare requires serious commitment, endurance and hard work. At times there can be high levels of stress; however, healthcare careers are some of the most stable and lucrative among all fields.

Some of the most important skills and abilities that a healthcare professional can have include:

• Interpersonal skills
• Communication skills
• Technical abilities
• Strong work ethic
• Critical thinking skills
• Commitment to continuing education
• Compassion for others
• Detail-oriented
• Team player
• Math and science (for a clinical career)

Two sectors to think about

Healthcare can be divided into two main areas: patient care and non-patient care. Patient care can focus on either direct or indirect care to people. Direct patient care positions can include nursing, physical therapist, perfusionist, physician, etc. Careers involving indirect patient care can include pharmacist, lab technologist, imaging (x-ray) technician, or social worker.

Non-patient care has both clinical and non-clinical career options. Clinical, non-patient care careers can include research, health information, case management, medical librarian and bioengineering. Non-clinical, non-patient care includes positions in business operations, financial management, facility management, and marketing.

When deciding which area is best for you, think about your interests, skills and how you could best help patients.

Lifestyle of a healthcare career

The last issue to consider is how a specific healthcare career will affect your personal life. Think about the responsibilities of various healthcare professions to help determine the best career path for you. Some of the common situations in healthcare careers include:

• Facing life and death decisions on a daily basis
• Managing the emotional aspects of caring for patients
• Practicing personal and patient safety precautions
• Managing stress
• Having knowledge of confidential patient information and maintaining that confidentiality

PNAA Nurse Balik Turo History

At the General Assembly meeting held on July 1, 2006 in Boston, Massachusetts, Rosario May Mayor, the 14^th Philippine Nurses Association of America (PNAA) President presented a vision of having a Nurse Balik-Turo program. Her vision is that “nurses from the USA will come ‘home’ to the Philippines to teach and impart nursing knowledge to our compatriots in the Philippines.”

The Objectives of the Nurse Balik-Turo are:

• Provide and impart state of the art clinical expertise and knowledge
• Improve exchange of medical and clinical information between individuals or schools of the two countries
• Enhance education of colleagues in the homeland
• Gain a rewarding experience for the exchange
• Sustain partnerships with collaborating associations and partners.

In March of 2007 this vision was launched with the recruitment of Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) at the Western Regional Conference in Portland, Oregon. There was so much enthusiasm. Remedios Solarte, PNAA Executive Director and Chair of the Nurse Balik Turo 2008 started a Directory of SMEs. SMEs are in the following fields of expertise: Clinical practice, Administration/ Management, Research and Education/Academia.

Philippine Nurses Association President Leah Paquiz was contacted to partner with the PNAA and she graciously accepted to co-sponsor the 2008 Nurse Balik Turo. She appointed Maria Isabelita Rogado to be the PNA Chairperson of the program.

With the collaboration of PNAA and PNA, nine hospitals agreed to participate in the First Phase of the Nurse Balik-Turo project. The first phase targets hospitals to share contemporary evidence-based practices applicable in Philippine clinical settings.

At the end of the program, the SMEs are expected to report back on their experience. Quantitative and qualitative surveys will be done. Results of these surveys will be used to guide the PNAA in planning and structuring the second and subsequent phases of the Balic-Turo projects.

The PNAA strongly believes that the impact of globalization demands that Filipino nurses keep pace with changing technology, fast breaking developments in research-based nursing interventions and pedagogical approaches responsive to diverse ethnic and cultural groups. Nurses in the USA are exposed to cutting edge technology in health care and the most recent advances in medicine and nursing. Additionally, the visiting Filipino nurses will bring back to their work areas trends, issues and challenges facing nurses in the clinical, academic and administrative arenas in the Philippines.
