I asked Sarah Scrafford, who regularly writes on the topic of pharmacy technician online programs, to tell us what she’s seeing these days. Here’s what she had to say about the healthcare IT job market. There’s an inherent satisfaction in working in the healthcare field – you feel fulfilled because you’re helping people get better and get over ailments that get them down. But on the flip side, you’re exposed to suffering and pain on a continuous basis, and for some people, this leads to a great deal of stress. If you want to remain in the healthcare sector and yet avoid all the hardships ...

The man, an engineer whose home is in Sydney, has diabetes and was prevented from bringing his medical supplies on board the plane. Can you believe it? It was all due to new airline security rules requiring that people with diabetes carry documentation along with their medications. The passenger arrived at the airport with a supply of insulin, but was forced to leave it behind because he did not have the required letter from his doctor. He was very sick on arrival in Sydney and had to be rushed to hospital in an ambulance. Don't risk your life to get from A to B. That's the moral of this story. Okay, maybe the security rules go a bit overboard. Yes...

Young solar engineers apparently get a rush from learning to install solar equipment in their villages and then to maintain these without external support. India’s solar energy stories are especially chalked full of adrenalin rush descriptions -  business leaders call satisfaction.It comes as mind-bending rewards for their hard effort and amazing talent as solar engineers. The same potential exists for all workers and yet it often goes unnoticed at work. So where is it? W...

A driver lost control of the wheel and ploughed his car into the two, killing Mrs. Meredith, who was fifty-two years old. The driver, an aircraft engineer named Phillip Willey, is now defending himself in court against a charge of dangerous driving causing death. Turns out, though, Willey is diabetic and he's using that as his defense, saying he blacked out while behind the wheel. Well, that was his defense until the prosecution turned the argument on its head and used it against him, alleging the accident was one hundred percent Willey's fault because he had a "cavalier attitude" to his condition and did not check his blood sugar l...

It’s a simple message: “Anybody — including you — can be an engineer. Here are the classes you’ll need and here are some addresses you can write for more information.” Click on the image to the right for the full ad. I particularly like the part where Ana says “You’ll need to take lots of English so you can learn to communicate clearly,” because that doesn’t sound like any of the engineers I know. They’re all very enthusiastic about explaining their ideas, just not particularly clear or concise.
