 ADVANTAGE OF BEING A NURSE
Nurses, like doctors and surgeons, have the unique
opportunity to save lives or, at the very least, to make a
difference in their patients’ lives. For this reason, nursing is a
highly rewarding field. Every day, nurses work to help people
who are sick, injured, disabled, and/or enduring a vulnerable
time in their lives. Nurses are often the ones closest to patients,
performing routine, bedside care and serving as an advocate
for those in need. Every time a nurse spots a symptom,
diagnoses a condition, administers a treatment, or offers a
listening ear, they are making an impact in another’s life.

Just as nursing is personally rewarding, it also has

professional benefits. Depending on your role in the field,
you can expect a comfortable salary. Registered Nurses,
for example, earn over $75,000 annually, on average in the
United States. Some states, like Connecticut and
Massachusetts, offer even higher earning potential.
 THE WORLD NEEDS A NURSE

Nurses are viewed as the most honest, ethical, and trusted

professionals in the United States, according to Gallup research.
In fact, nurses have been ranked the most trusted professionals
for 19 consecutive years, including in 2020, when they fought
relentlessly against the COVID-19 pandemic. This underlines how
important nurses are to Americans, and how much nurses are
appreciated by patients and communities alike.

If 2020 taught us anything, it is the need for nurses and

healthcare professionals. The global COVID-19 pandemic shed
light on the importance of having nurses staffed at all stretches
of our communities – in hospitals, outpatient clinics, nursing
homes, and more. It heightened the need for nursing
employment, which was already growing at above-average
rates even before the pandemic hit.
 THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT PLACES YOU CAN WORK
In addition to job opportunities, nurses
have a wealth of options when it comes to
where they will work. As noted above,
nurses are needed in all facets of our
communities. As a Registered Nurse, you
may work in a hospital, physician’s office,
outpatient health clinic, nursing home,
addiction rehab center, school, in
patients’ homes, or even travel abroad.
This is just the beginning of workplaces
available to nurses, even those just starting
out.
Beyond the diversity of workplaces,
nurses also benefit from many options
for specialization. In other words, there
are different titles you can pursue within
the nursing field. For example, RNs can
earn specializations in Pain Management,
Critical Care, Dialysis, and Surgical
Nursing. With a bachelor’s degree, you
can pursue special credentials in
Psychiatry, Oncology, Neonatal Nursing,
and more. Ultimately, if you are
considering becoming a nurse, ask
yourself which demographic you would
like to work with most. More than likely,
you can pursue a specialization or focus
in that area of work.
Nursing in Nurses advocate for health promotion, educate patients and the public on the
prevention of illness and injury, provide care and assist in cure, participate in
today’s rehabilitation, and provide support. No other health care professional has such a broad

society and far-reaching role.

Nurses help families learn to become healthy by helping them understand the range of
emotional, physical, mental and cultural experiences they encounter during health and
illness. Nurses help people and their families cope with illness, deal with it, and if
necessary live with it, so that other parts of their lives can continue.

Nurses do more than care for individuals. They have always have been at the
forefront of change in health care and public health.
Nurses innovate. Florence Nightingale, regarded as the founder of modern
nursing, is remembered as "the lady with the lamp" - yet she also collected data
to prove that the main cause, by far, of fatalities in the Crimean War was not
enemy fire, but infections attributed to improper sanitation. She was a pioneering
statistician, probably the first person in history to use graphs and charts to
persuade politicians to act. Today's university-trained nurses learn to trust their
own first-hand observations to generate important research leads on significant
topics.
