Nursing Jobs - Are The Future

Finding personnel to fill nursing jobs, through out the United States, continues to be a major headache for the health care industry. Recent studies, that have been completed by the United States Department of Health and Human Services, have revealed a critical shortage of qualified nurses within the United States. The studies have revealed that currently only 1.89 million nurses are available to fill a demand for over 2 million positions nation wide. To help alleviate this chronic shortage, President George Bush, signed into law the Nurse Reinvestment Act Public Law 107-205. One of the laws primary purpose was to help recruit people into the honorable profession of nursing.

Florence Nightingale is considered as the founder of modern nursing, which proliferated in the first and second World Wars. Nursing should not be considered as a secondary career move, for aspiring students unable to seek admission in medical schools. Both professions, although complementary, require different aptitudes and temperament.

Nursing jobs are an indispensable component of the health care industry. Nursing bears the critical responsibility of patients’ care and restoring the patients’ health. The most common characteristic of all nursing jobs is communicating with a variety of people, such as the doctor, patient, patient’s family, hospital staff etc. Thus, nursing jobs not only demand specialized professional skills, but also excellent communication skills to tackle any adverse situation.

Nursing also necessitates a benevolent and self-sacrificing attitude. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that traditionally more women then men have taken up nursing jobs as a full-time profession. Truly, the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. Today, nursing jobs constitutes the single largest female workforce in the world.

Whichever nursing program you select, you have the opportunity to offer an important service to the community. You may enter nursing jobs at a lower level, and widen your abilities through practice and additional training. Evolution within the nursing jobs comes about in several ways. A nurse may study further to receive a master's degree and a doctorate with majors, either in clinical expertise, administration, teaching, or research, depending on his or her career move.

Nursing can also prove to be a very smart and lucrative career move. According to the American Nurses Association, the average staff nurse working in all settings can earn over $35,000 a year. Hospital staff nurses may well earn over $36,000 plus overtime a year. Nurse administrators, depending on the field of expertise, may expect to earn over $45,000 a year. The average Clinical Nurse Specialist will exceed forty-one thousand dollars a year, again depending on the professional specialty. Nurse Practitioners can earn over $71,000 a year. Nurse Anesthetists may well earn more than $113,000 a year depending on professional experience and years of practice.

The health industry continues to have a need for professional nurses in all areas of expertise. To fulfill this growing demand, for nursing jobs, the health industry must continue to increase the financial rewards and provide a sense of job satisfaction in every nursing specialty.
