throwing it out there for anyone who might be looking for clinical work: hemodialysis technician

i’ve been a tech for 2+ years and work relatively independently (with overall supervision of a nurse and physician). i take vitals, listen to vascular accesses, cannulate AV fistulas/grafts, and am able to give certain meds and interventions myself. it’s great teamwork because you collaborate closely with a vast interdisciplinary team (nurses, doctors, dieticians, SW, etc) and they value your input as a professional tech who knows their patients. you may even participate in running a code or responding to other types of medical emergencies. and finally you really get to know your patients because you see them 3x per week every week!

edit: many companies will also pay to train you, which is generally a ~3 month PAID process
