Nurse as a Career - Top Nursing Facts


Before anyone thinks about getting into a career in nursing, I truly belive that they should be aware of some important nursing facts before enrolling in a nursing school.


I am not just talking about the basic personality aptitude it takes to be a nurse like caring, having a good head for mathematics and science but about the nursing industry.

Knowing these facts will help you decide whether nursing as a career is right for you.
  1. Currently, there is a nursing shortage and many nurses have to work over time

  2. Hospitals are looking more and more for nurse specialists

  3. There is a nursing shortage

  4. Patients can and will test your patience. If you are not patient or understanding of others, life as a nurse will be very difficult.

  5. Entry level nurses usually earn around $45,000 a year.

  6. Nurses are still perceived as simple assistants to doctors even though their actual role includes direct patient care, case management and more.

  7. BSN nurses are becoming the preferred over registered nurses.

I know that this is a bit off topic but I felt the need to write this because most nursing schools only have limited space every semester and it would be a shame to have someone take a spot and end up changing their career after a couple of years working as nurse.
