9. You’ll Learn Insider Secrets within the Healthcare Industry

You’ll know which doctors, hospitals, and floors have the best reputation, and which ones you should probably avoid. You’ll know which facilities have issues with bedbugs, MRSA infections, low patient satisfaction ratings, and so forth.

You’ll also have a better understanding of how the healthcare process works (from admission to discharge), which will be helpful when you or your loved ones need medical attention.

8. Nurses Earn a Competitive Salary

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2016, licensed practical nurses (LPNs) in the U.S. earned an average salary of $44.840; registered nurses earned an average salary of $72,180; and CRNAs earned the most, with an average salary coming in at $164,030.

As a nurse, you may also enjoy good benefit packages from most employers, including perks such as vacation time, healthcare benefits, and more.

7. Nursing Has Reasonable Education Requirements

If you want to become a nurse, you won’t have to spend your entire adult life in school, and that’s a very good thing! You can become a licensed practical nurse (LPN) in as little as 12 months, or a registered nurse in as little as 2-4 years, depending on whether you choose to pursue an associate or bachelor’s degree program.

6. There are Many Nursing Specialties to Choose From

You can become a legal consultant, educator, researcher, floor nurse, flight nurse, school nurse, labor and delivery nurse, oncology nurse, travel nurse, and so much more. The possibilities are endless.

5. The Nursing Profession has a Great Job Outlook

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, “Employment of registered nurses is projected to grow 16 percent from 2014 to 2024, much faster than the average for all occupations.” Source: [ Ссылка ]

4. Nursing Provides Opportunity for Career Growth

With nursing, you can advance to positions of leadership and become a charge nurse, nurse manager, etc. In addition, you can pursue advanced degrees to increase your income and scope of practice by becoming an advanced practice registered nurse such as a nurse practitioner, CRNA, nurse midwife, or clinical nurse specialist.

There is tremendous opportunity for advancement in the nursing profession.

3. Nursing Work Schedules are Extremely Diverse

As a nurse, you can work day shift or night shift. You can work full-time, part-time, or PRN (as needed). You can work weekdays or weekends. You can work a 9-5 job Monday through Friday, or 12-hour shifts 3-4 days per week.

I’ve worked with some nurses who would work seven 12-hour shifts in a row, but then they wouldn’t have to work for the next 2 1/2 weeks. Many facilities also allow self-scheduling, which allows even more convenience and flexibility.

2. Nurses Learn Useful Skills and Knowledge

As a nurse, you’ll learn about diseases, medications, the latest technology in healthcare, and other nursing knowledge that can help you educate your patients and loved ones, and potentially even save lives.

For example, a registered nurse named Ryan Reade helped save the life of TV star Tarek El Moussa after she was watching the show ‘Flip or Flop.’ After noticing what appeared to be a mass on Tarek’s neck, she wrote to the show, advising him to have it checked. It turns out that it was thyroid cancer, and he was able to seek treatment.

Nurses use their knowledge to save lives!

1. Nurses Get to Serve Others

Nurses have the incredible privilege of serving others through all phases of life—from birth to death. When a woman learns that she is pregnant, nurses are there to care for the expecting mother and her growing baby. When a woman delivers her newborn baby, nurses are there to witness that child’s first breath.

When a geriatric patient draws his or her last breath, nurses are there to provide comfort and administer the last dose of medication that the patient will ever receive, and to offer love and support to the family.

Nurses are blessed to be able to participate in those events and serve patients in all phases of life.
