Perfect Text for entry level students.......2001-04-22
Students will find this book easy to use and understand. The material allows students to start their learning experience at an easy level and move gradually to higher levels. Vocational students will achieve success in reaching their entry-level health career goal with this book. Students easily follow the workbook guidelines and teachers appreciate the easy to follow instructors materials.
The intent of this book.......2001-02-10
This textbook and accompaning materials is written for a specific audience. It is a text that helps English as a second language, returning adults who may not have completed high school and for those needing simple and careful information. In some cases a student in the class may excel and the material seems redundant, etc. The text meets a very important need and the course instructor purchases texts to meet the need of her students. The previous reviewer was very disappointed in the book because of the level it is written for. She is probably a more advanced student.
Horrendous.......2000-11-26
This text is absolutely the most horrendous book I have ever used in a college class. It is written at about a 4th or 5th grade reading level, and within the text will highlight common, everyday words like "familiar", "prioritize" and "accurate" and then in a sidebar will actually define the words for you! I have never been more embarrassed to own a book (which is required for a health care class I must take). In another unbelievable chapter the reader is even told how to add numbers like 2 and 3! I kid you not. (check page 131 for verification) I cannot believe this book is marketed for a college audience, and will most certainly sell this book back at the end of the semester, as it is TOTALLY useless. The writers of this text definitely display a lack of knowledge in the fields of medicine and physiology. Don't waste your money on it.

In-Depth Information.......2006-10-24
This book is great for understanding how to shape a brow that best suits your face. I believe it is intended for use as a text book in cosmetology and esthetics courses, but it provides great in-depth information for styling your brows. If you're seriously interested in learning what styles and shapes suit your face type this is the book for you. I was thourougly satisfied.
A disappointment.......2006-10-12
This book was a huge disappointment. It was very basic and very vague. For example, it would tell you to shape the brow to make their face look longer or shorter, but it wouldn't tell you how to shape the brow in order to do that. All the pictures were small, in black and white, and it was hard to see any detail. I kept on reading on, hoping that I was going to get to the good stuff, but the good stuff never came. I truly felt like I learned nothing and it was supposed to be an instructional book. A waste of money. I was debating returning it, but it doesn't seem worth it to go to the post office and have to pay for shipping it back.
The best book ever written on eyebrow design.......2005-01-06
This eyebrow book is the best educational
material on the market.
After you have read the book do your career a favor and
take the test provided with the book.
I personally learned so much from this book and I am a
professional in the field of Permanent Makeup. In my opinion
this is a must read book for anyone in the field of makeup.
This is a book you'll keep in your personal library for years to come.
All we can do for now is wait for the next book from this talented author.

In The Bag: Selling in the Salon.......2000-04-26
This is a great book which gives invaluable, practical advice on increasing salon revenues.
The book concentrates on increasing revenue through retail sales looking at salon design, layout, product, staffing, sales tips, objections, follow up etc.
Carol Phillips really understands customer service, and makes you think about the whole client experience. At every stage she makes suggestions to improve your customer service to build customer loyalty and repeat sales. There is also advice on staff issues, marketing and other management issues.
The book has been carefully structured and the chapter overviews and summaries are useful. It is also well indexed. I now call it the salon bible. Read it.
Book Description
You hear sirens wailing behind and pull to the side just as the ambulance breezes past you at a seemingly break-neck speed. You see through the rear windows, the EMT inside is laughing as he converses with the patient. Have you ever wondered what goes on inside? Here is your chance to climb inside and see what really happens beneath the sirens. EMS: The Job of Your Life takes you behind the wheel and into the heart of chaos as you read about the ups and downs of one of the most dangerous professions in the world.

5 stars!.......2007-03-11
This was an excellent book! Although I generally hate books that have been assigned to me, this was a major exception! As a series of shorter stories, it is a fast read and you hardly want to put it down. It'll keep you laughing, especially if you are familiar with the field as I am.
The lighter side of EMS.......2007-02-03
This book is a page turner that you can't put down, if you have any interest in the EMS field. Although if you've been in the field for any amount of time you'd probably run into a lot of what is written in this book. Devin does put a funny spin throughout the book on things that makes you laugh out loud while reading this book though. Buy it it's worth the read.
Good...but a downer too.......2006-10-15
Its a realistic look into our world, unfortunate sometimes. Ive followed the authors posted on ems based message boards and after him touting his book - I had to come find it. It was funny, read it all one sitting and is sitting dog-eared at my station right now. Best part - all the radio immaturity. Try as we might to sound like professions - we all goof off, especially on the radios, especially on 'company band' radios. I do agree with a few other posters tho - and would have prefered some more of the "good" sides of EMS. the sweet lil old lady that just smiles at you all the way in, like your an angel, a great save that you talk about for weeks, the fuzzy feeling we all get sometimes. So maybe if theres an EMS3 - tack on some lighter side stuff. overall tho, i definatly think its a book people in ems can relate to. dont know if ide totally recomend it for 'outsiders' tho, as they might interput it all as lazy and uncaring. (thats only some days!)
Why are you still in EMS?.......2006-06-07
I picked this book up after Devin took a job in our area. The intro was very well written and I thought "hey this should be great."
But then the book turns into a string of what we would refer to as "bumper stories" - 2 minute tales told while sitting on the front bumper of the rescue truck waiting for the horn to blow. Many of the stories have the feel of "urban legend" having been passed around NJ for decades and morphing over time.
And we all know that "real guys" don't talk about emotion - they just complain about how bad things are, so there is nothing in here that I felt captured the motivation that keeps people in this business. Too many "that was a horrible shift" stories, but no great saves.
Yes, I can recall events like this. But if they were all that made up my day, I would have left years ago.
(I did get one smile from a simple line on page 26 - Don't cut a down jacket.
Because I've been there.)
Thank you Devin!!! ;-).......2006-02-05
Thank you Devin for writing such a great book!!! I loved it from the minute I started reading it... I couldn't put it down.
I recommend it to everyone, even those not in the EMS field.

Book Description
Health Care Job Explosion offers a distinct advantage over other books of this type. It is two books in one — a comprehensive
CAREER GUIDE plus a dynamic
JOB FINDER. First, it provides a detailed description of each of the major health care career fields. Second, comprehensive resources are listed for job announcements (publications with job ads, job hotlines, Internet sites for job seekers, and job fairs), placement services, directories, and general information (associations, career-oriented web sites, and job related books). This dual format permits comparisons between specialties and offers insight into qualifications, cross-training potential, and pay. The job descriptions list occupations with similar skill and training requirements.
Later chapters explore the following occupation groups:
Health Technologists
Health Technicians
Dietetics, Pharmacy, and Therapy
Nursing
Health and Social Services
Health Diagnosing and Assistants
Home Health Care and Computers
The job descriptions offer the most up-to-date information available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics' 2006-2007 Occupational Outlook Handbook, interspersed with succinct input provided from many health care professionals and organizations. Each occupational listing covers the nature of the work, working conditions, employment statistics, training, other qualifications, advancement, job outlook, earnings, and related occupations. Following each job description is a carefully selected list of invaluable career and job resources. The all new fourth edition covers all major occupational groups and includes a comprehensive chapter on home health care, over 1400 updated resources, expanded sections, and interviews with health care workers. Our web site at healthcarejobs.org was created exclusively for this title.
VARIETY AND GROWTH CHARACTERIZE THE FIELD
The opportunities aren't limited to traditional health care occupations. Health care institutions will need thousands of additional accountants, auditors, personnel specialists, directors of personnel, attorneys, buyers, computer programmers, researchers, computer support specialists, chemists, engineers, drafters, computer operators, Photographers, file clerks, secretaries, purchasing clerks, and food service helpers. Furthermore, employment growth is not limited to the traditional full-time job. Part time employment is on the increase as well.
The increased demand for health care services, fed by the growing proportion of elderly in the population, is expected to continue for a full 50 years! According to the Administration on Aging the number of Americans over age 65 is expected to grow to 40.2 million by 2010 and to 71.5 million by 2030. Older Americans spend more than twice that of all others on medical services. The health care needs of this population will contribute greatly to the creation of new jobs.
Thirteen of the 20 occupations with the fastest projected growth rate are in health care. (See Table 1-1 in the book.) The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) predicts that the private hospital industry is expected to employ nearly 5 million people by 2014, which will make it the seventh largest source of employment growth. Employment in doctor's offices and clinics will also increase and the BLS expects a 56% increase in home health aides. Health care manpower shortages are now commonplace and many health care providers take months to locate qualified personnel. An American Hospital Association survey found that the health care workforce is shrinking while demand for hospital care rose in 2004.
It is not just traditional medical jobs that are growing. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, of the seven remaining 20 fastest-growing occupations, five are in computers (an industry with increasing importance in medicine) while two are medical related: medical scientists and forensic science technicians.

Needed a change and this was the perfect guide!.......2006-11-26
I knew I needed a change in life and a new career. But I new it needed to be something that paid decent and would give me job security. So I bought this book, read about the different fields and then handed it over to my teenage daughter to get her thinking about her future....This book guided me in the right direction and now I am in school and will graduate in early 2008. I will have job security and a decent salary until I retire. If you are interested in the medical field then this book is a great guide in helping you decide what you would like to do and how much education you need, where to go to school and what exams you must pass. Great book for those looking for a career change or just thinking of trying something else in life.
A comprehensive career guide and a job locator for health care jobs.......2006-08-12
The new fourth edition of "Health Care Job Explosion!: High Growth Health Care Careers and Job Locator" is a brand new comprehensive career guide and a job locator for health care jobs. Health career data can be accessed at multiple internet sites, with one created especially for this book (http://healthcarejobs.org). The book is very user-friendly and is conveniently organized into 10 chapters. The first, "the Health Care Explosion," is an overview, while the second, "the Nexus - Making a Connection," is helpful to increase chances of obtaining the desired job. Chapter three, "Job Sources for Everyone," is an invaluable key to many resources, including job advertising services, job fairs, job hotlines, internet sites, associations and directories. It even includes pages on the Internet, Surfing lessons, LIST SERVERS, search engines, and education and career resources. A handy system of symbols connects the reader to the desired resource. Chapters four through ten cover general health care job areas, from health technologists and technicians to dietetics, pharmacy, therapy, nursing, health and social services, health diagnosing occupations and assistants, and home health care jobs. Each of these chapters begins with an interview with a practicing health care worker in the listed field. Job descriptions include significant points, a description of the nature of the work, working conditions, training, qualifications and advancement, job outlook, earnings, and related occupations. This is followed by an exhaustive listing of additional special resources pertaining to that occupation/area, again using the helpful icons established in chapter 3. Finally, Appendices A and B present information about health care corporations and sources for tuition and scholarships for specialized health care job training. "Health Care Job Explosion!" is an updated resource that will serve all who seek to build a career in one of the many areas related to health care in the United States. It would be a valued addition to the shelves of libraries and education institutions.

Customer Reviews:
Outrageously Overpriced.......2006-11-10
Well, let's just say that this is one way to finance your career transition--sell a very short book for a very big price. The first few chapters, which describe some of the cultural norms that may impede a physician's career transition, were engaging and informative. About a third of the way through, though, the book became pure, unadulterated, non-informative filler. Meanwhile, the book is priced like a medical textbook. Under no circumstances should anyone buy this book at full price. Just because I made this mistake doesn't mean the rest of you have to! ;-)
Strategic Career Management for the 21st Century Physician.......2000-11-25
A unique and much needed resource for physicians at all stages of their careers. This book will also be helpful to anyone contemplating entering the medical profession. Dr. Hirsch succinctly presents for the reader a comprehensive guide to the many career options available to those with a medical degree. She provides a clear, analytical framework from which the reader can explore their own best "career fit" within the medical profession. Despite the crisis in clinical medicine today, Dr. Hirsch presents her message in a positive, constructive style.
