Nursing has been traditionally defined as a helping profession, but there's more to it than that. To be a nurse requires a high level of critical thinking, organization, and leadership. Nurses assess patient health needs, providing independent treatment as well as collaborating with other health care professionals.
Professional nurses educate, counsel, and provide hands-on care. Nurses work with individuals in all stages of life and health. Modern nurses use highly technical equipment while keeping the holistic needs of the patient in focus. Surveys show nurses are some of the most respected professionals nationwide.
Currently in this country there is a major nursing shortage. High demand and nursing shortages mean more jobs, higher pay, and job security. So this is an excellent time to be entering the field of nursing!
