The nursing profession has undergone plenty of changes in the last five years. In this constantly changing field, it is essential and important to learn the new trends in nursing jobs in order to ensure a good career path. Today, the demand for Registered Nurses or RNs has tremendously increased due to two major factors. Relatively less number of professionals who choose this line and the retirement of existing nurses have led to a demand of trained nurses. Secondly, there is a significant increase in a nurse’s range of duties, with an increase in the number of the older people and baby boomers, which is due to the fact that there is a significant increase in the number of older people and people in need of nursing assistants in the world.
Statics has revealed that the demand for nurses has been on the rise since the year 2000 and is estimated to go up further in future as well. Study has shown that since not many people are choosing this field as their future career the existing registered nurses are in great demand in all the hospitals and nursing homes. If you check some of the job sites for nursing jobs you will find plenty of openings in almost all hospitals all over the country. Keeping this in mind it is wise to invest your time by choosing this field as your future career since you are assured of a good job and even better growth in the future.

It is considered the right time for anyone who is interested or inclined in the healthcare profession to consider nursing as a career, and the people working in the field as registered nurses to get a better advantage by updating themselves on the latest technology to move forward in their careers. Increased payments have been a constant incentive given by the various institutions to lure registered nurses. Looking at all the above study of the present and future of nursing profession it is well worth considering as it is worth both monetarily and professionally as it is a challenging career.

Becoming a traveling nurse has the advantages of traveling without having to spend your money and see new places while enjoying free housing, relocation and many other benefits. Plenty of nursing jobs are open in the United States research has shown that almost all the hospitals lack the required number of nursing assistants and that the nursing homes are constantly on the look out for quality nurses.

Study has revealed that this acute shortage of nurses is due to the changes in the world trend, which with its advancement in technology has kept people on their toes to keep up with the latest trend in the nursing field. This increase in the educational structure of nursing along with increased work pressure has kept people from opting for this field

Due to this shortage of people opting for the nursing profession, the hospitals have to compromise on the staffing and make do with the staff they have. This demand has made nursing one of the five fastest growing professions in the world. To retain the present nurses it has become necessary to give good salary and increment to keep them happy on the job. With this increase and demand in nursing jobs, the quality and professionalism in this field has increased tremendously making it a lucrative profession for anyone looking for the right opening to start their career.

I love History. This has to be my major, and I would probably also minor in either Biology or Spanish. This would not give me the time for another major in nursing, and a minor would be just pointless. How could I be a nurse then? Is there some type of master’s program?

Rosie Fletcher asked:


It was in 1992 when the term Forensic nursing was first heard. But what is it exactly? Forensic nursing is a specialty field that deals with the care of crime victims, collecting evidences and providing health care services in the prison system. It is a combined health care and judicial system profession to be precise. International Association of Forensic Nurses (IAFN) is the official association of forensic nurses established in 1992 by a team of nurses who specialize in sexual assault examination.

1. A Day In The Life

Contrary to popular belief forensic nurses don’t spend their day hanging around with corpses. Examining victims of sexual assault and training colleagues how to treat violently injured patients eat up most of these nurses days. Another related job for a forensic nurse is providing counsel to schoolchildren who fired guns.

2. Training

Training as a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner is the entry-level position you need to obtain in order to break into forensic nursing. The nurse should be a Registered Nurse (RN) before being able to complete the specialized training needed to meet the standards of the IAFN. Forty hours of didactics and forty hours of clinical work are also needed. The nurse should be trained in handling and collecting evidences like hairs, fibers and swabs of fluids for DNA testing.

Forensic nursing is not limited to helping **** victims. Forensic nurses also work with other types of interpersonal abuse such as domestic violence, child and elderly abuse, neglect and physiological, as well as psychological abuse. They could also examine victims of near-fatal or fatal traumas like shooting or stabbing.

A lot of forensic nurses work as nurse examiners in the emergency rooms in the hospitals. In cases like shooting or stabbing, the forensic nurse works in collecting bullets and other debris left in the body that will help in the investigation. Removing the clothes the victim is wearing and storing them in a special bags are also some of their duties. They also have to photograph and measure the wounds of the patients. In case the victim dies, the nurse has to work with the medical examiner (ME).

3. Other Considerations

Forensic nurses are qualified to testify in court as an expert witness or a fact witness. As an expert witness, the nurse is allowed to give his or her opinions while on the witness stands in order to shed light on the case. On the other hand, as a fact witness, the nurse is only to state the details and answer the questions. A forensic nurse should state the information in an objective manner. It means that he or she should not speak for or against either the victim or the accused. As the duty calls for it, the nurse only has to state the information he or she obtained, not make conjecture about what he or she thinks happened.

4. Tools of the Trade

A forensic nurse should also know how to use different tools in order to document what he or she has gathered during the examination or treatment process.

- A digital camera

- An Omnichrome

- A Coloscope

To date, specialty areas are being related to forensic nursing. This includes a Forensic Nurse Specialist, Forensic Nurse Investigator, Nurse Coroner or what is known as Death Investigator, Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE), Legal Nurse Consultant, Forensic Gerontology Specialist, Forensic Psychiatric Nurse and a Correctional Nursing Specialist. Forensic nursing is a growing industry in the field of nursing. More and more nurses are being drawn to it. Nursing schools are also taking notice of this need. Forensic Nurse Programs are now being offered in nursing schools.

I am not sure if I want to spend the 8+ years of school to be a doctor. If I would choose a nurse practitioner, what can I specialize in? What are the main differences between a nurse practitioner and an RN?

Dr Nancy Kimmel asked:


Do Licensed Practical Nurses have to take an entrance test for nursing school? The answer is yes. Many Licensed Practical Nursing Schools require their prospective nursing students to take a general knowledge test prior to admission. This test is comprised of questions covering math and reading comprehension. This test is sometimes a stumbling block for students who decide to take the test without properly preparing themselves. On the Internet, prospective Licensed Practical Nursing students can find the tutorials that they will need to help them to pass the nursing entrance test. The profession of nursing is seeing a surge in the amount of people that are seeking to become a nurse. There is a high demand for Licensed Practical Nurses as well as Registered Nurses.

Texas is facing an unprecedented nursing shortage where the gap between supply and demand grows wider each year for the coming decade. (1) The Licensed Practical Nursing Test is just as challenging as the Registered Nurse Entrance Test. There are resources which provide the necessary preparation for the Licensed Practical Nurse Test for each Licensed Practical Nursing School across the country. Prospective Licensed Practical Nursing students do not always know where to turn to find the materials to achieve a passing score on the Nursing Entrance Test. Online materials are available for both tests and much more. The initial entrance test is the first hurdle that prospective LPNs/LDN’s must maneuver through. If this test is completed with a high score then the student goes on to becoming a Licensed Degree Nurse. It is suggested when using online tests and tutorials to begin with the first of the tests in each section. Since each test increases in level of difficulty and reading comprehension it behooves the student to start at the beginning. The student should begin testing with the untimed option. Using the timed option on material that is foreign or new will only make the student feel inadequate. It is much better to use the untimed option so that the problems can be worked through at leisure, and the answers and explanations are thoroughly understood.

Prospective Licensed Practical and Licensed Degree Nurses are encouraged to take advantage of all of the resources offered, as they will be tested on similar knowledge once in the program. Just as there is a need for Registered Nurses there is also a need for Licensed Practical Nurses. Licensed Practical Nurses can find employment readily in hospitals, homecare, and medical office settings. Although the scope of practice is different from state to state, the Licensed Practical Nurse will always be under the auspices of the Registered Nurse and physician. The job description of the Licensed Practical Nurse includes taking patients vital signs, attending to wound care, (superficial to first degree decubitus ulcers, and two day post operative wound care, assisting patient with self care, emptying foley catheters, passing medication,( they cannot give I.V.Push medication), bathing patient, assisting in post operative exercise and or walking the patient, and engaging in reporting off to the Registered Nurse. While the scope of practice is limited for an Licensed Practical Nurse, it is interesting to note that the salary difference is within five to seven dollars less than a Registered Nurse.

Licensed Practical Nurses are entitled to the same benefits of tuition reimbursement as Registered Nurses. Becoming a Licensed Practical Nurse or Licensed Degree Nurse is not as demanding a becoming a Registered Nurse, and the pay is not that much different. It is no wonder that more and more people are considering a career as a Licensed Practical Nurse.
