I wish you much success and happiness in the nursing program as well as in your future professional career in nursing. Nursing is an exciting and ever-changing profession.
Nurses comprise the largest number of health professionals in the United States.
There are many opportunities to provide nursing care services to people both in this country and abroad. Nurse professionals are now members of inter-disciplinary teams in clinics, hospitals and community settings. Nurse practitioners are filling critical health care needs in both urban and rural settings for portions of the population who have not received adequate health care. Nurse scientists conduct important research about a variety of health problems and how best to promote health, prevent disease, and care for people who are ill. Nurses also teach in schools of nursing, in colleges and universities throughout the world.
