4 Types Of Job Scenario In Nursing

With people becoming more and more health conscious

, the nurse business is booming and they are in demand like never before. Over the past decade, the demand has risen and, therefore, more and more young people are interested in following the career path of a nurse. Let us individually examine the growth chart at different levels.

*Registered Nurses or RNs: Registered Nurses or RNs are nurses with the Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree. They form the basis of the nursing population and over the next few years, the demand for them is likely to increase, because of the number of clinics flourishing all over the country. While they are very handsomely paid, they are at the bottom of the pyramid and are easily afforded by clinics. Hospitals need more specialized nurses, therefore, RNs working in hospitals tend to study further and move up the pyramid as soon as possible. Over the next five years, the requirement for RNs in private clinics is bound to go up be nearly 50 percent while those in hospitals will be just about 15 percent. The demand for them for at-home services would also see a 25 percent surge. The average salary would be $65,000 annually.

*Nurse Practitioners or NPs: The demand for Nurse Practitioners or NPs will see an increase, in very specific areas. The old age population of the country is going to be very interested in hiring NPs as their personal helping nurses. In hospitals, the demand would be very high in the preventive healthcare sector. The average salary is estimated to be around $90,000 by the end of this decade. Most RN's in the hospitals will be seen adding the necessary degrees and certifications to become NPs.

*Clinical Nursing Specialists or CNSs: Clinical Nursing Specialists or CNSs are advanced nurses and would be able to multitask with ease. They would be required to perform medical duties as well as help in the administration. The demand for them is said to have increased and will keep on doing so to better the healthcare administration and improve services. A CNS is said to bring in about $88,000 on an average, annually.

*Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists or CRNAs: As the career graph peaks, RNs and NPs tend to look for a career path change, trying to specialize and find a domain for themselves. With advances in medicine and surgery, a lot of these nurses are trying to become Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists or CRNAs. They take in an average salary of $156,000 annually, being the most highly paid of the nurses.

The demand, the specialization and the salaries definitely make nursing one of the most sought after career choices these days.
