Hemodialysis is now one of the fastest-growing segments of health care, offering well-paid jobs after less than a half-year of training.
The good news is that Florida Panhandle Technical College in Chipley, Florida is now offering both a Hemodialysis Program which trains for positions as a Hemodialysis Technician, as well as a Patient Care Technician Program, preparing students to work hands-on with patients in a hospital, assisted living program or a nursing home setting.
These programs are now enrolling and FPTC Director Martha Compton suggests that interested persons contact Student Services (see contact info below) as soon as possible to ensure securing a place in the classes.
Also available is a Hemodialysis Certification of Completion for current LPN’s and RN’s interested in a career as a Hemodialysis Nurse.
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN’s) care for people who are sick, injured, convalescent or disabled, under the direction of physicians, mid-level practitioners and registered nurses. With an average pay of around $40,000, there are in excess of 700,000 LPN’s at work in the United States, and more are needed every day.
Welding is another career for which there is always a demand, with almost a half-million welders employed in the United States at an average pay scale of $40,000.
