While there are seemingly limitless professions in the healthcare industry, there are numerous reasons why you should consider becominga nurse.
1. MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN PEOPLE’S LIVES: If you think back to your most recent interaction with staff at a clinic or hospital, you are more likely to remember the nursing staff than anyone else. That's because nurses are essentially the faces of the industry, and they work hard to ensure they truly make a difference in their patients' lives. Each and every day, nurses across the country save lives or improve their patients' quality of life through intervention and preventative care. This is a career you can feel good about. 2. MOST-TRUSTED PROFESSION: Nursing regularly tops Gallup Poll results as the most ethical and trusted profession in the country, and it has done so for 16 years. In fact, 84% of those polled in the survey ranked nursing ethics and honesty as "high" or "very high, and three of the professions that rank the highest are in the medical field. Nurses truly care for their patients and do their very best to treat them with dignity and respect. 3. STRONG DEMAND FOR NEW NURSES: The demand for nurses across the country is very high. In fact, it is so high that many states are experiencing crisis-level nursing shortages that are expected to worsen. Research conducted in the spring of 2018 by Mercer, a global healthcare staffing consultancy firm, and published by CNN showed that these shortages are especially pronounced in rural areas. With this information in mind, you can feel confident that you will be able to find employment immediately after graduation. 4. GREAT SALARY AND BENEFITS: Nursing is one of the several healthcare positions that offers an excellent salary and fantastic benefits. Licensed practical nurses and licensed vocational nurses (LPNs/LVNs) earned an average of $50,090 a year in 2020, and registered nurses (RNs) earned roughly $80,010 a year. If you choose to pursue a graduate degree, you could become a nurse practitioner (NP). In 2020, the average salary for this profession was $114,510 a year. 5. JOB STABILITY AND SECURITY: Nurses enjoy much higher than average job stability and security. Due to the current shortage, there are numerous employment opportunities in settings like hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, and even home health - the area expected to be hit the hardest by the lack of qualified nurses by2025.
6. DIVERSE OPPORTUNITIES: The nursing field is also known for its incredible diversity and numerous opportunities. For example, if you choose to work in a hospital, you might opt to work in trauma or emergency medicine, obstetrics, or even pediatrics. You could work for a specialist in a private practice, or you could even work in home health. Some nurses choose to work in schools, and still others opt to volunteer some of their time to free clinics in their local areas. No matter what setting you prefer - and no matter your ultimate career goals - you will have the opportunity to choose one that suits your preferences as a nurse. 7. FLEXIBLE SCHEDULES: Though you have probably been told that nurses often work incredibly long shifts and many, many hours per week, the truth is that your schedule can be quite flexible. Of course, if you work in a hospital or nursing and rehabilitation center, you may find yourself working overnights, weekends, or even holidays - these facilities never close, and nurses are always required. Conversely, working in a clinic or private office allows for more predictability, and many agencies that hire home health nurses will allow you to set your own schedule to a degree. 8. ROOM FOR GROWTH: Imagine for a moment that you start off as a certified nurse assistant (CNA), then move on to nursing by obtaining a certificate or diploma that qualifies you for LPN/LVN licensure. Later, if you decide to take on more responsibility and a larger salary by furthering your education, an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) will allow you to work as an RN. You might also choose a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) to enhance your employability, and further down the line, you could return to school again to obtain your Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) to become an advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) or a nurse practitioner (NP). 9. KEEPS YOU ON YOUR TOES: Finally, if there's one thing that can be said of the nursing profession, it's that no two days are ever the same. There's a certain amount of unpredictability in this profession, and there's always the opportunity to solve a new puzzle, to help a new person, or to save another life. Nursing is an excellent career for you if you are naturally curious, if you perform well under pressure, and if critical thinking is a strong suit. WHAT DOES A NURSE DO? To put it simply, nurses serve as the main point of contact for patients in hospitals, long-term care facilities, rehabilitation centers, and in many cases, even doctor's offices. Duties for each profession within the nursing field will vary: 1. CERTIFIED NURSING ASSISTANT As a CNA, your duties are centered on helping nurses care for patientsand include:
• Delivering food and drinks to patients in their rooms at mealtimes or assisting patients in assembling in a dining area; • Taking vital signs; • Checking in on patients frequently to ensure their comfort andprogress;
• Observing patients carefully and reporting findings to the nurse; • Charting patient information, typically via a computerized system; • Answering call lights; and • Assisting patients with basic needs including bathing, grooming,and more.
2. LICENSED PRACTICAL NURSE OR LICENSED VOCATIONAL NURSE An LPN or LVN assumes more responsibility than a CNA, and while duties will vary from one state and facility to the next, they typically include: • Taking vital signs; • Monitoring patients’ recovery following procedures, surgeries,or treatments;
• Changing bandages and providing wound care; • Giving out medications; • Reporting information about patients to doctors and RNs; • Documenting, charting, and recording patient information; • Inserting and removing catheters and IV drips; and • Tending to patients’ basic needs by answering call lights, assisting CNAs with bathing and grooming tasks, and more.3. REGISTERED NURSE
A registered nurse has more responsibilities than an LPN/LVN since their additional education and training allows them to work independently. Responsibilities andduties include:
• Dispensing and administering medications to patients; • Analyzing and diagnosing test results; • Directly supervising LPNs/LVNs and CNAs; • Managing nursing staff; • Creating or assisting in the creation of detailed care plans forpatients;
• Analyzing data provided by CNAs and LPNs/LVNs for presentation to patients’ doctors; and • Patient care tasks such as IV and catheter insertion or removal, administering injections, caring for wounds, and assisting in in-office or even surgical procedures when required. 4. NURSE PRACTITIONER A nurse practitioner must have a master’s or doctoral degree and performs a broad range of services under the supervision and review of a licensed physician. These include: • Independently seeing patients during office calls, in emergency rooms or trauma centers, or at hospitals; • Ordering labs, x-rays, and other tests to come up with diagnosesfor these patients;
• Prescribing medications to patients who need them (with the exception of controlled medications); • Preparing patients’ medical histories; • Working very closely with physicians to ensure the best possiblepatient outcomes;
• Performing minor in-office procedures for patients, such as biopsies and IUD insertion/removal; and • Creating and communicating detailed care plans for patients.
