Even in these rough times, there are some fields that actually see growth during a recession – and healthcare is one of them.
Demand for healthcare is relatively unaffected by recessions because people feel that healthcare is a necessity rather than an option. According to an article from the Bureau of Labor Statistics*, studies have shown from the 1980s that healthcare is one of the career fields that always sees a growth increase during recessions.
In fact, healthcare will see an increase in career opportunities, expected to grow 22% through 2016**. This means that there should be plenty of options for secure careers in the healthcare field. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 7 of the 20 fastest-growing occupations are in healthcare-related careers. That means, with the right medical training, individuals can find employment and stability, even during recessions.
One of the most secure careers is medical assisting. The Bureau of Labor Statistics states that medical assisting is expected to grow 35% through 2016. You can find Medical Assisting programs with MedTech College. The School offers personalized attention and hands-on training for this in-demand career. As a medical assistant, you can assist doctors and nurses in procedures, fill out forms, draw blood, perform numerous lab tests, and work in the front of medical offices.
Hope that helps!

I would look for something first that you like and second that will fit your schedule. A radiology technologist would be an okay choice because you could eventually do it part-time, like from a Dr.s office. However if you work in a hospital you have shift(12hrs.)work usually. Nursing is the same. Sometimes hospice or home health nurses have flexible schedules.
Hope that helps a little…..
One idea would be to become a school nurse- you and your kids would have almost identical schedules. You’d have lots of kids to take of though!!
