This is a great book for the person who is interensted in careers in the medical field. Details in ALOT of aspects of many careers. Full explinations of these careers. Packed full of all of the information you will need. Well worth the money! GREAT BOOK

I was disappointed with this book. One of the fastest growing jobs was absent, that of Medical Assistant. All nurses make care plans. The description of the RN following doctors' orders, soothing, and caring is what the profession is trying to downplay now. Nurses work for nurses, not doctors, and are highly skilled team members. Prospects for Nursing School Instructors are excellent, not just good. There is not only a shortage of nurses but of faculty, and without faculty, fewer people can be accepted to school. All MDs and DOs do a residency if they want to treat patients, not just an "internship" with residency for specialization. All medical fields are specialties. The "internship" (old term) is just the first year of residency, PGY-1 (post-graduate year 1). For one description, you are encouraged to write for more information. Really? This book is in its third edition? What happened to the good ol' World Wide Web? A lot of information is missing in the school listing, too. New Jersey, for instance, has many schools offering training in health care careers. Additionally, the book is very dry and boring, in my view. You'd do better to buy (don't know if I can mention other titles) one with "explosion" in the title. The author specializes in work with celebrities and, I believe, should stick with this subject matter.
