INSTITUTIONAL NURSING
A Hospital or Institutional Nursing is a registered nurse (RN) who works in a hospital
setting. They work directly with injured, sick, and impaired individuals. They work with patients
one on one, but usually handle numerous cases at once. Depending on their department,
hospital nurses may serve patients in life-threatening emergencies or those suffering from
chronic illnesses such as cancer or heart disease. Hospital nurses are responsible for evaluating
and treating patients. This involves checking patient vital signs, assessing patient symptoms,
performing lab tests, administering medication, and coordinating treatment plans. Hospital
nurses may also provide counseling to patients, educating them (and their families) on treatment
regimens or proper healthcare.

PUBLIC HEALTH NURSING

A public health nurse, on the other hand, is a nurse that works within larger communities.
Rather than treating individual patients, they care for an entire population and work to protect its
greater health. This may involve teaching the community about potential health issues,
promoting good nutrition, safety, and hygiene, and increasing the community’s access to care.
Public health nurses do not wait for patients to come to them with an illness. Rather, they go into
communities to prevent disease or help improve the population’s health. On a regular basis,
public health nurses can be found directing healthcare resources, providing screening services
for patients, delivering vaccines and immunizations, running blood drives, and educating the
people about health-related topics. They may also be found identifying risk factors within their
community, monitoring trends of illness and injury, and implementing health education
campaigns to keep the community safe.

NURSING EDUCATION
Nursing education is the professional education for the preparation of nurses to enable
them to render professional nursing care to people of all ages, in all phases of health and illness,
in a variety of settings. The fundamental focus of nursing education programme is to produce
nursing professionals that are clinically competent and can contribute immensely to the provision
of quality and safe nurse. Quality nursing education can be attained if nursing faculty obtain a
balanced experienced in both theory and clinical areas.

MILITARY NURSING
Military nurses are qualified registered nurses who are hired to provide medical treatment
in military clinics and hospitals. Military nurses, like ordinary registered nurses who treat
civilians, check wounds for infection, prepare patients for surgical operations, and provide
preoperative and postoperative care to individuals serving in the military. Military nurses will not
only have the opportunity to travel and see the globe, but they will also have access to good
education and be reimbursed for time spent learning. They also have access to outstanding
advantages such as free healthcare. Military nurses' tasks also include monitoring patients' pain
and comfort levels, enabling the disabled to care for themselves, and giving psychological and
emotional support. They may also give healthcare to civilian emergency patients in rare cases.
Military nurses, on the other hand, offer medical care in and around combat zones and near
battlefronts during wartime. A military nursing profession may be extremely demanding and, at
times, sad. It can also be perilous, because military nurses are frequently sent to overseas
combat zones alongside active troops.

SCHOOL HEALTH NURSE

A specialized nursing practice that promotes students' well-being, academic performance,
and lifelong achievement. To that aim, school nurses promote health and safety, intervene with
actual and prospective health concerns, offer case management services, and actively engage
with others to enhance student and family capacity for adaptability, self-management, self-
advocacy, and learning. School nurses are well placed to lead the school system's collaboration
with school physicians, community physicians, and community groups. They help families and
children enroll in state health insurance programs such as Medicaid and the State Children's
Health Insurance Program, and they may assist in establishing a medical home for any student
who need one.

CLINIC NURSE
Clinic-based nursing is primarily concerned with delivering outpatient preventative care
across disciplines, assisting patients recuperating from surgery or getting treatment for chronic
health concerns. Clinic nurses may specialize in areas such as pediatrics, women's health,
rehabilitation, and psychiatric health. Their duties often involve the following:
-Obtaining patient data such as medical history, health problems, and symptoms
-Working with physicians and other healthcare experts to assess a patient's condition and
provide therapy.
-Medication administration and treatment plan communication
-Medical equipment monitoring and maintenance

 In what field you want to be in the future, and why.

Before starting my nursing study, I thought nurses exclusively worked in hospitals and
doctor's offices. I had no idea nursing could lead to so many varied options. Right now, I'm
particularly interested in Public Health Nursing because I prefer being in different communities
and teaching people how to prevent potential health problems. Public health nursing has
changed my outlook on nursing, and I believe it's wonderful that some people choose to pursue
it as a career.
