This is good, because it is an independent newspaper, and that claim is much more valid because the paper earns its own revenues. In this issue, we're also talking to nurses who have found unconventional positions with their nursing degrees. There is a tremendous shortage of hospital nurses. Nursing is really a good career opportunity in the traditional sense, too. Even if someone wanted to do something different later, he or she could be a traditional nurse for a few years for background and then branch out.
Salaries are quite good, and it's a field for people who want flexibility.
There are ways to arrange a work schedule that might be very attractive to some people. I think it's a career that young people should consider seriously. With the background, nurses can go in a lot of different directions, such as case management for insurance companies, nurse anesthesia, and geriatric nursing, which is just huge. I would hope that both men and women see this as a positive career choice.
