Careers in Nursing Fields By Morgan Hamilton I'm sorry to say
that right now we are running for his low on one of our most
valuable occupations. At present, we are experiencing an alarming
shortage of trained and licensed nurses to fill the positions
that are critical to quality of care for the healthcare consumer.
with an aging population this is becoming a very serious problem.On
every floor in a hospital, nurses are practicing in a wide variety
of nursing fields, from an emergency room nurse assessing a
heart attack victim, to the nurse that provides education and
skill polishing to the whole nursing and medical staff. Nurses
were a variety of hats, far removed from what we are all used
to seeing in those old movies. Nurses are advocates for their
patients, and are greatly responsible for the level of care
received by the patient, and their lasting memory of the experience.
Nurses number one priority is the care and treatment of the
patient, not what the treatment as to how well they are treated.
You can find nurses in so many more places than just hospitals
now. The work is extended out in too many facets of everyday
life. Nurses can serve in the military,
work for public relations firms or health insurance companies,
be a school nurse, an entrepreneur, a nurse educator, a home
health nurse, a public health nurse, there is no end to how
and where nurses can affect others.Nurses can start out with
an entry-level training program and progress through PhD level
if so desired. An associate's degree is a two-year registered
nurse (RN) program that focuses primarily on the skills that
nurses will require when they go out to the field and treat
patients. Click here
