COVID-19 continues to take a toll on Baton Rouge hospitals and their workforces. Many are left wondering how they can help in this time of need. One option is to get an education at a nursing school like Delta College in Baton Rouge. There are also other options besides nursing school–our other medical programs such as medical assistant or medical office and health information technician could open your future to multiple positions, each doing their part to make a difference.

Baton Rouge Hospitals Need Workers Like You

Across Baton Rouge, healthcare facilities are having a difficult time during the COVID-19 crisis. With the amount of people in need of medical care, there are simply not enough hands to go around. And that goes for both nurses and the remainder of the staff.

“Overall, both nurses and their staff are struggling to take care of all of their patients as COVID-19 hospitalizations increase,” says WAFB. 

In order to assist during this crisis, nursing schools like Delta College are offering a high-quality education in order to train professionals who know their craft. And many workers in the workforce are taking this chance to become essential or even brush up on their knowledge. Are you going to choose to do your part as well with the right education? If the question is, “Where to begin?” Luckily, Delta College has the answer.

What Does Delta Offer?

Currently, our Baton Rouge campus has six available programs for our potential students. But when it comes to the COVID crisis, there are three that can make a difference. 

• Medical Office and Health Information Technician. Billing and coding professionals ensure that hospitals and other healthcare locations are working efficiently. With this education, you learn how to do important tasks such as bookkeeping, insurance coding and billing, secretarial duties, and more. Without this work, healthcare wouldn’t be able to continue!
• Practical Nursing. Across the country, nurses are feeling the brunt of the pandemic on their shoulders as they continue to care for patients. By attending and joining Delta College, you could become a trained nurse who can do your part in the fight against COVID.
• Medical Assistant. Medical assistants make things easier for doctors and nurses by performing minor tasks that allow them to do their job in an efficient and easier way. With this help, they can then turn their attention to more patients.

Choose your program and make a difference in your local Baton Rouge hospital. Together, we can do our part to help local healthcare professionals.
