From what I've seen, the only paid CPST's are those employed in the health care field, and they generally have other educational backgrounds - nurses, etc.
I've thought about doing something in a small hospital around here when Laine starts school. Just work in a small maternity ward and check every infant before they're discharged. I'd need to get special needs certified, but otherwise I could do it on my knowledge now. That's not for another 10 months at least, though, so I don't know how it stands.

zactayaus said:I work for two local hospitals (both owned by the same corporation) in their maternity wards as a paid CPST. I have no other educational background (only graduated high school) and I did not need to be special needs certified. I work 2-3 hours a day, any where from 4-6 days a week (we work on a rotating schedule and there are 15 techs between the two hospitals). The pay is awesome and I would have to work 5-6 hours a day at any other job to make the same amount of money.
zactayaus said:Baylor, I know you live in the Philly area. How far is that from Voorhees, NJ? That's where one of the hospitals is located that I work at. Kac my be working there with me soon. If it's not too far and you are interested I'll let you know when there's another opening.
I am hoping that lemonade will get that CPST course going soon. Do you know any courses soon close in NJ? I'm am close to Yardley pa.
