Nursing

Introduction

Usually when we talk about medical profession, people normally envision doctors with stethoscopes and surgeons with surgery weapons such as knives. It should be noted that these two are maybe the common representations of the medical profession, however, in reality, nurses are the ones that play a key role in any medical facility, in fact they can be termed as the back-bone of any such facility.

Nurses help the general doctors, physicians, dentists and surgeons, and provide hands-on care for the sickly and the injured. Importance of nursing profession spans a great deal of other aspects that underlie most forms of medical treatment. Nurses are the ones, who are along with each of us throughout major milestones and challenges of our life, from childbirth to accidents and to surgeries. Nurses are mainly the professionals who put the doctors’ words into actions and provide the best possible treatment and care of everyone.

Challenges

Nurses have one of the most challenging and diversified working conditions of any occupation. Their working hours can be unpredictable, with no limits what so ever. Some opt to work in shifts, others work on 24-hour calls, and a lot of their personal time, even their weekends and holidays, is sacrificed.

Nurses are exposed to hazards on a daily basis. During outbreaks or epidemics, nurses are among those most vulnerable to infections due to their constant exposure to infected patients. Some patients may also suffer from debilitating diseases and their treatment may result in emotionally-wrenching situations, especially when it involves family members and children. Thus, nurses are those who possess the grit and the emotional stability to deal with death and suffering every day.

Career Opportunities

The benefits are rewarding and the career advancement prospect of this profession is able to beat any other occupation in the world. Currently, the United States is facing shortage of nurses partially due to the challenging working environment and the lack of nursing schools to accommodate the demand.

Nurses’ salaries, however, are never something to complain about. As of 2005, the average staff nurse earned about $57,600 per year. Hospital administrators and nursing directors are capable of earning six figures per year. This much difference in salaries are due to the differences in work experience, time spent with patients, the types of facilities, levels of education, and certifications.

Career advancements for nurses can be attained through specialization in different medical fields. The longer a nurse has been in a specific field, the more valuable his/her experience and expertise. The multiple medical specialties a nurse can focus on is dependent on factors such as population, the types of illness, the places they work at, and the type of treatment they are trained to provide. Therefore, it is common to see nurses specializing in multiple fields that are related to one another.
