1 Internship
I am currently interning at hospital emergency room. Interning there has confirmed my career goal of wanting to work in the medical field. However, I do not want to start off in a doctor's office due to the slowness of the flow and the pay. I am currently an EMT and the emergency room setting gives me an adrenaline rush that I crave in the work setting.

Interning at a Health Care Non-Profit has been a truly enlightening experience. Not only am I empowered and encouraged by the staff there, but the work itself is both challenging and revitalizing. I have been involved in activities to include learning how an infectious disease clinic functions on the clinical side, in addition to the financial aspect. These duties have included learning about order entries, year-end financial operations, and researching and compiling data to develop a medical billing and coding manual for the anticipated billing department. To put it briefly, this internship experience has further confirmed my desired career goals.

13 Healthcare or Social Work?

My internship has really been very helpful in helping me think about my career. I work in a hospital where I get to meet a lot of people. I pay attention to who is in the room every time. I also pay attention to details as to what is happening in the room and where everything is placed. I believe my focus is highly important in order for me to understand people. My career choice is to be a social worker but I'm not sure what setting of social worker I would like to work in. I think my internship will help me make this decision but so far its too soon to tell. I would like to go to a few more meetings and talk to a few more people about working from home. I think I know what I want to do. I just don't know if I want an office or travel from home to home. My next goal is to find out what will work for me.
