What are the nursing job opportunities?
Graduates of any nursing program can land jobs either in hospitals, in nursing homes or any other medical institutions. Some even work as faculty in nursing schools. Hospital nurses are the largest group of nurses, who are mostly staff nurses providing nursing care to patients and carry out doctors’ orders. In 2004, about 2.4 million registered nurses were employed in different hospitals and medical institutions. Three in every five nurses work in hospitals, inpatient and outpatient departments, doctors’ clinics, nursing care facilities, home care services, employment services and government agencies. Others were employed in both public and private social assistance agencies and educational services.”I am a nurse, do I need continuing nursing education?
