Nurses have the great satisfaction of making a difference in the long-term quality of a patient’s life, even in whether the patient lives or dies, or spends his/her last days in peace and comfort.
There are wide and varied areas of nursing in which to work, such as critical and chronic care, pediatrics, geriatrics, gynecology and obstetrics, management, research, and education; and each area collaborates with various health care professionals such as physicians, radiologists, occupational and physical therapists, pharmacists, and dietitians. Nursing is an enticing profession because of the myriad combination of areas in which students can practice.
Medical innovations are happening at a staggering pace and promise to continue and even accelerate into the future. Nursing will continually progress (evolve) so that new technologies and advances in drugs and therapy will always be an exciting aspect of the profession.
Nurses are highly employable and generally in high demand in a wide-variety of areas of expertise and settings. There is bound to be an area of nursing in a setting (i.e., hospital, school, community agency) with a work schedule that the student finds satisfying.
