As exciting as the future is for nursing and healthcare, what if you do not have a desire to be a nurse? There is absolutely nothing wrong with this. As a UAA, you have already encountered a large variety of healthcare workers in different disciplines. Not everyone in healthcare needs to be a nurse to be successful in their career. There are so many opportunities for advancement, no matter what your role may be. There are many schools and programs out there available for those who wish to pursue other things. Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) certifications, phlebotomy, radiology technicians, EKG/Telemetry techs, respiratory therapists, physical therapy assistants, etc.; the list goes on and on. Houston Methodist has wonderful things in place for support, such as the tuition reimbursement program, which can be a big help in pursuing your dreams!
