Nursing
Nursing is projected to be one of the fastest growing health care fields. However, the title nurse is much too general to define this group of professionals. Instead, there are homemaker-home health aides, licensed practical nurses, nursing aides/assistants/orderlies and registered nurses. Registered nurses also include certified nurse midwives, certified registered nurse anesthetists, clinical nurse specialists and nurse practitioners. Nursing personnel are being hired in record numbers to fill positions that offer increased job responsibilities. With the rapid changes occurring in health care, nurses of all types can use their nursing skills in nursing homes, managed care organizations and physicians’ offices. They will gain recognition as a key health care provider whose role is as indispensable as a physician.
