Nursing as a Career oxford guide.

Document Content and Description Below

Nursing has long been a profession that is needed, revered, and even unappreciated at times. There are many different positions a nurse can have in the healthcare field. For most people interested i... n a career as a nurse their first option is to become a registered nurse (RN). An RN’s initial focus will be on general studies, but they can specialize in an area later in their career. The four advance practice categories are clinical nurse specialist, nurse practitioner, nurse-midwife, and nurse anesthetist (Ferguson 161). Being an RN does not limit a person’s job opportunities. Not only can they work in a hospital or clinic, but they can also work as an occupational health nurse overseeing the welfare of office workers. Public health nurses may work in schools to promote good health and prevent public illnesses while office nurses assist physicians, surgeons, and dentists. RNs can also work as instructors, administrators, and advisors to legal teams (Ferguson 1) [Show More]
