Registered Nurse

Duties and responsibilities: Every nursing job is a little different in terms of the responsibilities you have to fulfill. Nurse practitioners are certified to do a lot more with patients than registered nurses or licensed vocational nurses. Nevertheless, the goals of all nursing jobs are the same in the end. These include:

• Administering medications
• Recording medical histories and other patient records
• Monitoring patients
• Helping injured or disabled patients with routine tasks (bathing, using the restroom, etc.)
• Assisting doctors and other nurses with patient care

As you can see, a typical nursing job is focused on patient care from start to finish. Some nurses are more interactive with patients than others, and some only work with specific kinds of patients. You will need to figure out what type of nursing job you want to have to learn which responsibilities you will have.

Salary: total pay of $43,403 - $83,171

Education: Nursing students may choose from a variety of education options to become a registered nurse. Some teaching hospitals offer 3-year diploma programs in nursing; however, these programs are rare. Most RNs earn associate degrees or bachelor's degrees in nursing.

Demand for this profession: Employment of registered nurses is projected to grow 16 percent from 2014 to 2024, much faster than the average for all occupations. Growth will occur for a number of reasons, including an increased emphasis on preventive care; growing rates of chronic conditions, such as diabetes and obesity; and demand for healthcare services from the baby-boom population, as they live longer and more active lives.

Reflection: i wouldn't like to be one because i prefer to be more like a doctor and work with patients and everything , in my opinion i think that registered nurse is boring just checking patients and administering medications i would like to do more than that like do surgeries and be a doctor because a nurse is more like the helper and for me a doctor has more important duties and more pay,  :)
