In the new millennium the profession of nursing will be on the leading edge of rapid change and innovation in health care. The need for highly skilled nurses has never been greater as humanity needs caring nurses. At the present time there are 2-3 jobs for every nursing graduate as the aging boomer population begins to have a significant impact on the demand for nursing care both in the acute care and the community setting. Men and women who seek a creative challenge will derive significant satisfaction from a career in nursing.
Opportunities abound for the baccalaureate nursing graduate in a vast array of health care settings.
