Might Be Getting Layoff notice

Oh well I knew with the way the economy has been sooner or later it might impact me.  I’m pretty sure i’ll be getting a layoff notice shortly so I’ve decided to start looking at a career change.  The only jobs that seem to be in high demand in my area are for nurses, nursing assistance, certified nursing technician an other medical related positions.  I’m not sure how well I’d do at being a nurse I’ve never really had much interest in becoming involved in the medical field but it seems to be the best solution for a career change at my age.  I’ve looked at many of the indiana nursing schools and seems there are quite a few alternative to being a nurse that can be done without having a full blown college degree.  I have considered a couple of the options such as becoming an emergency medical technician, paramedic and even a medical lab technician.  I’ve never really had much exposure to anything in the whole nursing field but i’m willing to give it a shot.  I’ve sent requests out for information about several of these to local schools and right now I think starting out as an EMT is going to be my best option as the local volunteer fire department is willing to pay for the classes so that I can get started.  If I find out I like being involved in the medical areana I will consider possibly becoming a nurse or paramedic down the road.
