What is your opinion about nursing career?

Hi

If your interested in nursing maybe consider working in a residential care home or doing some charity work. Not only does it give you some experience but it also looks better on your application if you do apply at a university. I think nursing is very rewarding but equally demanding at the same time. I'm a year into my training and after working in different jobs previously this is probably the best career move i have ever made.

I love nurses.
specially the cute ones who bathe me

i think its a great profession. if i could go back and change careers and do it all over again, i would pick nursing. you have to have good hospitality though to work in nursing. i work side by side with nurses every day. then when you are a nurse, there are so many different types of nursing you can go into.
Did you know there are many different types of nurses? Nurses are so important to the medical profession that some specialize in one area of medicine - such as Orthopaedics or Pediatrics.
Nurses go to school for years to learn about biology, anatomy, mental health, hygiene, medicine, and hundreds of other related things. When school is over they must pass a test to become a Registered Nurse (RN), a Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN), or a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). Nurses are known to care a lot about people who are sick. That is why nurses are sometimes called "angels of mercy."
Many nurses continue their education to learn more about an area of medicine they like. They become a specialist in a particular subject. Maybe there is a subject in school that you spend more time learning about because you enjoy it. Nurses are no different.
Here is a partial list of different types of nurses and examples of where they work. Maybe you have met one of these nurses.

... And the list goes on - As you can see from this short list, there are many types of nurses who work in a variety of settings.

Nurses have many duties. They carry out the orders doctors give for patient care, plan patient treatment, monitor vital signs, read patient charts and reports, give medicine, keep a written record of each patient's progress, and hundreds (probably thousands!) of other important tasks. Nurses also help patients cope with pain, fear, anxiety, and grief. Some nurses supervise other nurses and hospital workers that make up a health care team.

Doctors often have nurses explain things to patients and parents in simpler terms. Nurses are a great resource for questions about your condition. If scheduled for any tests, procedures or surgery, the nurse will teach you about each step and help prepare you for treatment. Being a nurse can be a rewarding, challenging, and exciting profession.

I think it's a wise choice if that's an interest for you. They are in very high demand and it's an honorable career choice.
