Nursing School

Nurses are in very high demand. Hospitals, clinics, and allied health facilities are clamoring for nurses and are willing to pay top dollar for individuals even with entry-level experience. There are several methods of earning your nursing degree, which includes either a one-year diploma, two year associates, four year bachelor's degree, or a master's of science in nursing that can be used to become a nurse practitioner. There are many specialties to choose from, such as obstetrics working with sick infants or geriatric helping the elderly.

Other areas of interest include:
• Travel nursing in which you can choose to work in any location in the nation that you want. Assignment are generally 8 to 26 weeks then you can move on to the next location.
• Military nurses work in the armed forces and can work world-wide.
• Forensic nurses work with law enforcement, documenting injuries, collecting DNA evidence, council victims, conduct physical exams, and act as professional witnesses.
• Legal nurses can work as consultants and become expert witnesses in medical malpractice and personal injury cases.
• Surgical nurses prepare patients for surgery, assist surgeons in the operating room, and monitor the patient's vital signs.
As a nurse, you will have the opportunity to work in a hospital, health clinic, rehabilitation center, healthcare insurance, or other related fields, or as a teacher if you get your master's degree. Nursing is no longer considered a profession dominated by women. Men have become a prominent presence in the field and have the same opportunities to make a great living in a fulfilling and lucrative career.
