If you’re not keen on just getting any old job to make ends
meet, and the idea of entering into the corporate world fills you with dread,
it might be a good idea to consider a career that will allow you to really make
a difference. Nursing is one career that
will enable you to do just that.
Make a Positive Difference
Nursing not only enables you to have a positive impact in
the world and on the people around you, it also provides a decent wage that you can use to support a
family, pay your bills, and buy a house.
Many idealists find it hard to find careers that enable you to have the
best of both worlds as the majority of care giving jobs are either low paid or
on a volunteer basis only.
Nursing covers many different specialties. So whether you want to obtain a DNP
(Doctorate in Nursing Practice) online through BradleyUniversity, or specialize in a specific sector such as mental health
nursing, or midwifery, you will find there are plenty of alternative nursing
careers available to you. By obtaining
the basic nursing degree you also have the opportunity to specialize at a later
point if you do not want to make a decision on a specialty right away.
Help People in Different Sectors of Society
After obtaining a nursing degree, you would be forgiven for
thinking that your next step is to find work in a hospital or doctor’s
surgery. However, as a nurse you
actually have a variety of working sectors to choose from.
ng people and employees to make a
positive difference in their lives. Or
maybe you want to work with a sports team helping to ensure that the athletes
on the team don’t succumb to any career changing injuries. You may want to work in a nursing home and
provide care for older people. Or
perhaps you want to work in a prison or psychiatric hospital providing mental
health care to those who desperately need it.
Nurses have lots of options open to them, they are not limited to
surgeries and hospitals.
Job Security
Whilst nursing is one of the best careers out there for
people who want to make a true difference, it is also one career that offers
job security. It is believed that in the
next two years, there will be a need for at least one million new nurses in the United States. This is partly because of the number of
nurses expected to retire, and also because of the introduction of the
Affordable Care Act. You therefore have the opportunity to enter into a stable
career, with good pay and a rewarding future.
If making a difference in life is important to you, it’s
definitely worth considering a career in nursing.
**Compensation is received for posting.
Great piece. I have heard that both nurses, and other health care options like aides for elderly are always in need.
