One option is to become a registered nurse. Registered nurses provide direct patient care and can work in a variety of settings, such as hospitals, clinics, and physician offices. Nurses must have at least an associate's degree in nursing, but many pursue a bachelor's or even master's degree to advance their career.

Another option is to become a licensed practical nurse. Licensed practical nurses provide basic nursing care under the supervision of registered nurses or physicians. They typically have less education than registered nurses, but they play an important role in providing quality patient care.

Those interested in working with medical records may want to consider becoming a medical coding specialist. Medical coding specialists assign codes to diagnoses and procedures so that insurance companies can process claims correctly and patients can be billed appropriately. They need to have knowledge of medical terminology and experience with computer systems used for coding purposes.

If you're interested in working with patients but don't want to provide direct patient care, you might consider becoming a health educator or community health worker. Health educators teach people about healthy lifestyles and help them make choices that will improve their health. Community health workers connect people with resources they need to improve their health and well-being.
