Nursing is an excellent career choice if you have the ability to block out negative energy.  I nursed for 4 years and had absolutley no problem at first, but once i started seeing so much pain and suffering day in and day out, i could no longer separate my job from my life and found myself sinking into a depression thinking about all the people that I had seen suffer and die.  Unfortunately I could not get the good to outway the negative anymore and was forced for my own sanity to quit doing what I loved.

Role of a Neonatal Nurse\nNeonatal nurses work either within specialist neonatal units (within Maternity or Children’s Hospitals) or in the community.\n\nNeonatal nurses care for new-born babies who are premature or are born sick. There are a vast number of conditions that can affect a new-born baby and require treatment from specialists within the multidisciplinary healthcare team. \n\nPremature babies have particular problems as a result of being born too soon, in particular problems as a result of being born too soon such as respiratory difficulties that can be life threatening if not treated promptly and appropriately by the specialist team. Likewise, the nutritional needs of the sick newborn and premature babies will require specialist care.\n\nThe neonatal nurse also has the important role of supporting the parents of the baby at a time when they themselves are very anxious and stressed. As far as possible, the parents and occasionally other family members are encourages to take an active role in the care of the baby

So you can understand the way people work not only the individual but in groups as well. It will probably prepare you for dealing with families of patients. In sociology I learned about the grieving process... which is something I think a nurse should know alot about... it will teach you how to deal with people.

Advanced Practice Nurses.. Reaad on, i have a lot of info :)\n\nLicensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) are also known as Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) in California and Texas. These individuals usually have eighteen months to two years of training in anatomy and physiology, medications, and practical patient care. They must pass state or national boards and renew their license periodically.\n\nLPNs can perform simple as well as complex medical procedures but must operate under the supervision of either a Registered Nurse or a physician. They can administer most medications (usually with the exception of IV push medications), perform measurements (blood pressure, temperature, etc.), keep records, perform CPR, maintain sterile and isolation conditions, and administer basic care.\n\nLPNs are often found working under the supervision of physicians in clinics. In long term care facilities, they sometimes supervise nursing assistants and orderlies.\n\nThe Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that there were about 700,000(1) persons employed as Licensed Practical Nurses and Licensed Vocational Nurses in the U.S. in 2004.\n\nRegistered Nurses (RNs) are professional nurses who often supervise the tasks performed by LPNs, orderlies and nursing assistants. They provide direct care and make decisions regarding plans of care for individuals and groups of healthy, ill and injured people. They have a Diploma, Associate Degree, or Bachelors Degree in Nursing at entry level, and after passing state board examininations are granted the title Registered Nurse. Regardless of degree, RNs have many hours of clinical experience before they are graduated.\n\nRNs are the largest group of healthcare workers in the U.S. The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that there were about 2.3 million (1) persons employed as Registered Nurses in the U.S. in 2004.\n\nResearch has shown that RNs are the first-line defense of hospitalized patients against disability or death from infection, cardiopulmonary arrest, and other serious complications. Higher ratios of registered nurses to patients have been shown to decrease certain complications of illness and mortality rates. Registered Nurses are educators, managers, executives, therapists, intensive care experts, symptom managers, professional mentors, researchers and community members. In hospitals, registered nurses perform diverse roles such as writing policies, responding to emergencies, managing professional, technical and ancillary staff, determining budgets, performing strategic planning, and supervising construction projects.\n\nAdvanced practice nurses (APNs) are Registered Nurses with advanced education, knowledge, skills, and scope of practice. APNs possess a master's or doctoral degree in nursing and may also sit for additional certification examinations. APNs may function as a Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM), nurse practitioner (NP), clinical nurse specialist (CNS) or Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA). They perform primary health care, provide mental health services, diagnose and prescribe, carry out research, and educate the public and other professionals. Some APNs diagnose illness and prescribe medication.\n\nAll advanced practice credentials have requirements such as continuing education and periodic re-examination to maintain the credential.\n\nAdvanced Practice Nurses can expect to earn above-average salaries, especially as the population of ages and the demand for highly-skilled healthcare workers grows proportionally.\n\nGood Luck! :)

While this duty is done by primarily RN's, I believe that LPN's have been utilized to do this task, when there is a personnel shortage.

To see information from Bureau of Labor Statistics about registered nurses, go to http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos083.htm, which is the Occupational Outlook Handbook.  This also gives you some links to read more about individual states.\n\nJob opportunities for RNs in all specialties are expected to be excellent. Employment of registered nurses is expected to grow much faster than average for all occupations through 2014, and, because the occupation is very large, many new jobs will result. In fact, registered nurses are projected to create the second largest number of new jobs among all occupations. Thousands of job openings also will result from the need to replace experienced nurses who leave the occupation, especially as the median age of the registered nurse population continues to rise.\n\nMuch faster-than-average growth will be driven by technological advances in patient care, which permit a greater number of medical problems to be treated, and by an increasing emphasis on preventive care. In addition, the number of older people, who are much more likely than younger people to need nursing care, is projected to grow rapidly.\n\nEmployers in some parts of the country and in certain employment settings are reporting difficulty in attracting and retaining an adequate number of RNs, primarily because of an aging RN workforce and a lack of younger workers to fill positions. Enrollments in nursing programs at all levels have increased more rapidly in the past couple of years as students seek jobs with stable employment. However, many qualified applicants are being turned away because of a shortage of nursing faculty to teach classes. The need for nursing faculty will only increase as a large number of instructors nears retirement. Many employers also are relying on foreign-educated nurses to fill open positions.

There will be a time period later to extend in.

If you are in the US, nursing is most definitely worth pursuing as a career.  The impending retirement of many baby boomers is creating great demand for nurses.  My sister and mother are both nurses; my sister has her pick of choice jobs and my mother, who is in her mid-60s, is contacted every week with job offers.

Hello, I think you are not getting answers because this is the category for "special education".  In the U.S. this term usually refers to school children who have special educational needs.  \n\nSince you are talking about Nursing School you would get better answers if you post this question in the Higher Education or Business/Careers categories.  If you find a nursing school - the advisors there will assist you.

As long as people fall ill, and need hospitalisation or as long as the elderly need professional care-givers at their homes,  there will be a demand for nursing.

It appears that "task-oriented nursing" is where nurses just do what the doctors say, and don't fully comprehend the "whole story" of the care they are providing.

Communicating with doctors, nurses and patients is very important.\n\nYou have to  understand the doctors.  Relate to other nurses.  And figure out what patients want.
