Nursing Job Prospects

By eMedEvents -

A nurse takes care of individuals, assists physicians, administers medications, maintains reports, as well as many other responsibilities. In America, a nursing job is divided into 4 categories - Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), Registered Nurse (RN), and Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner (ARNP).

According to a recent survey, a registered nurse with an Associate of Science in Nursing or a Bachelor of Science in Nursing makes an average of $73,000 per year. The nursing job prospects are steadily rising by 15% in the United States and nursing is considered to be the fastest growing occupation.

The top five U.S. states that offer the highest salaries to nurses are Hawaii, California, Massachusetts, Alaska, and the District of Columbia. A nurse can be employed in hospitals, home healthcare settings, physicians’ offices, nursing care facilities, military, and schools.

Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) To become a CNA you need to spend about 75 hours in vocational studies. Your job outline will be performing a limited range of procedures, basic duties, and supporting the RN.

Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) requires one year of vocational education. An LPN’s job role includes the roles and responsibilities of a CNA plus administration of injections & IV drips, prepping the patient for surgical procedures, performing therapeutic massages, and maintaining and handling patient records.

Registered Nurse (RN) Becoming licensed as an RN requires you to have an Associate of Science in Nursing or Bachelor of Science in Nursing. The job entails supervising the CNA and LPN, plus making nursing diagnoses.

Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner (ARNP) incorporates nurse midwives, nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists, and nurse anesthetists.  They are required to have postgraduate education in their specialized aspect of RN licensure and nursing.

Most of these nurses have to periodically renew their licenses and maintain continuing education (CE).

Whether you are a new graduate or an experienced professional, we recommend you invest some time in updating your resume, refining your search criteria, and preparing to ace those interviews with brilliant responses.
