As a nurse there are many different areas as to which you may chose to work in, some may require even additional training or schooling. You'll be quite amazed at all the different types of nurses and what they actually do. There are Forensic Nurses who specialize in crime scenes and rape victims, a Flight Nurse assist when airlifting is needed or National Disasters have occurred, and even a Paralegal Nurse which usually assist lawyers in medical cases, and many more. I myself look forward to working with children (Pediatric Nursing) or even with pregnant women (Obstetric Nurse), something about the two just excites me. I have a strong passion for children and babies and would love working with them. I can say that a part of me has been interested in Elementary education as well. Becoming a nurse can actually take up to four years and even longer with a wide variety of career opportunities afterwards depending on how far you wish to go, and exactly how much your willing to sacrifice.
The outlook on Nursing careers is actually in excellent standings. With new technology and growing health concerns nurses are needed in a major way. Even considering the recession, nursing jobs were still on the rise. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics this chosen career will grow much faster than others.
I chose a careen in nursing because I know its something that will bring me out of my own little world. Just to have an opportunity to allow myself to grow and help someone while at the same time learning how each child or adult is their own individual person with their own circumstance. Nurses are actually the most trusted people in the health care field because of their ability to build relationships, and sharing some of the most intimate moments with their patients regardless if they are happy or sad.
