It looks like most direct patient care jobs require lifting of over 50 lbs. This could entail lifting a 300 lb. patient by oneself. What healthcare jobs involving direct patient care (or indirect care) do not require heavy lifting? Are there any accommodations provided to assist with heavy lifting for the healthcare jobs that do require the lifting?

2 weeks ago I started working as a cashier at Walmart, where before I worked doing in home healthcare (which I hated). So far the job isn't so bad- handling rude customers is about the same as handling rude clients, but I have a manager who is really hard on me. I've made a few mistakes (as one tends to do when they are learning) and she is instantly reprimanding me and making me feel like an idiot. There are 5 other managers who oversee my area and they are nowhere near as harsh. When I need help they show me how to do things or send a more experienced associate over to explain it. I'm working my butt off and doing better and better, but this one manager jumps all over me and makes me feel like an idiot for the smallest mistakes (which aren't always my fault). I have never worked retail before, or had so many managers before so this whole experience is very new and nerve wracking. Does anybody have any tips on how to get/stay on this managers good side?

She's a healthcare business major who recently started a in home healthcare business that provides in home care for the elderly in my city and the surrounding areas. She's employed nurses, physical therapist, and occupational therapist. When she was younger she volunteered at nursing homes a lot and fell in love with the elderly. She decided to start my own company because She figured she can do a better job at helping the elderly while they keep their independence. She is really smart and really attractive. Is this impressive or not?

Home healthcare is different from other healthcare options because the nurse or medical professional travels to the patient's home rather than the patient traveling to the hospital or doctor's office. Professionals that work in home healthcare face challenges with scheduling and can run into problems relating to travel or not getting time off. There are scheduling options that can make a home healthcare group more efficient. write down answers

I will be attending college as a freshman in the fall and recently fell in love working with a 5 year old child in a summer school program. He had a tracheotomy done, so he always has a nurse with him when he comes to school. He adores his nurses and they seem to love their job. I want to have the same job as them but I don't know what degree I should get or how I would go about getting a job like them?

I am a stay at home mother and am looking for extra income to help with bills. I have four kids so getting a job and putting them in day care would not be helpful. Are there any good work from home jobs that are not scams? Please only reply if you have experience or know someone that has experience from working from home. I am sick of looking at websites that promise money but are just a scam.
