HELP ME CHOOSE MY CAREER IN HEALTH CARE

PRESENTED BY

Comfortable with needles

First up, let's see how you would handle this situation.

Your elderly aunt needs to have a daily shot and the doctor suggested you help with that...

Sure, that's not a problem.

You are a little uneasy, but hope you will get used to it after a few days.

You will find another family member to handle this.

Comfort and Ability to help

Next, let's see how you would handle patient care situations.

A patient who is wheelchair-bound and in the last stages of cancer comes in with her mother, and complains about a sore on her side. The patient has open and oozing sores on her side, is very weak, and often gets sick from her treatments. How could you assist the patient?

I would be able to help her clean and dress her sores; if she needs to be sick or cry, I can help soothe her and provide comfort. I want to make sure she is clean and comfortable.

I would provide comfort, but would rather not be hands-on with the decision for her treatment.

I would not want to provide help or comfort in person. Raw emotions, vomit, and changing oozing wounds may not be for me. I would like to be able to help, but from afar.

Comfortable with blood

Let's see how you would handle this situation.

You have hired a handyman to help replace a section of your wooden porch. As he is cutting wood, his hand slips and the saw nicks his hand. He lets out a yell and calls for help. You run out to see what happened and notice there is blood everywhere. How do you react?

Check the seriousness of the wound and help make a makeshift bandage to stop the bleeding.

You take note of the blood and point out the route to a sink, but you do not attempt to help with the bleeding.

As soon as you see the blood, you start to feel lightheaded and weak and have the sensation of spinning.

Can you remain calm when dealing with angry or upset people

Can you remain calm when dealing with an uncooperative person in a high intense situation? Let's find out.

While pulling into a parking spot, you accidentally hit the bumper of the car next to you. Before you can react, a man gets out of the car and starts screaming at you. He is red in the face. He threatens to call the police and have you arrested. How do you react?

You remain calm, retrieve your insurance information and calmly deal with the situation. This guy probably has had a bad day.

You become a bit upset that he is screaming about a small mark on his car, but you try and maintain some level of calm and work things out.

You wonder who this man thinks he is yelling at you like that, and perhaps he should have done a better job parking. You get out of the car to tell him this.

I don't mind working non-traditional business hours

Great job, you are almost done...

While job hunting, you find your dream job, land an interview, and find out you get the job! When you receive your schedule, your hours are all over the place - some days go late into the night, other days you're on the night shift. How do you feel?

You feel great. You don't mind these hours, and you will be doing what you love.

These hours are the worst, and you are not too thrilled by them, but you like this job and will take what's offered.

You feel tremendously disappointed; this schedule won't work for you. Maybe this wasn't your dream job after all.

Please select an answer.
