Discovering Nursing
Today nursing is a prime field to get into. There are tons of need for nurses high and low.With over 100,000 vacant positions and a ever-growing need for healthcare workers, the career outlook is excellent for the nursing field.Because of the increasing need for nurses, some hospitals are offering signing bonuses of up to $14,000 for experienced nurses.Most nurses change jobs a number of times throughout their careers to take advantage of the many opportunities available. A nurse experiencing burnout can stay right in the profession by moving laterally to another field of nursing, or can build on years of valuable education by earning an advanced degree and moving up the ladder. With so many varied and challenging positions and opportunities for continual growth, it's easy to see why nursing is truly one of the most rewarding and fulfilling professions out there. Most people today go for their Bachelor of Science Nursing: (BS/BSN) A four-year program offered at colleges and universities that prepares nurses to practice across all health care settings. BSN graduates have the greatest opportunity for advancement. For instance, a BSN is required for entry into a Master's program, which may in turn lead to a career in management, or on to more specialized nursing positions such as clinical nurse specialist, nurse practitioner, nurse educator, or nurse researcher. A BSN is preferred and often required for military nursing, case management, public health nursing, overseas/development nursing, forensic nursing and school nursing. Some countries (the European Union, Australia, and New Zealand) require a BSN before being able to sit for the RN exam. This is the most common program around. You can also get your Associate's Degree in Nursing, Hospital Diploma, Licensed Practical Nurse, and there are also further education.

I would like to repeat the comment I stated in your last blog. However, I will not...it just takes up time and and space.
Stucture, Lula...structure. This entry was better put together though.
I have some questions. What is the Male/Female ratio for nurses? I'm always hearing how there's not enough male nurses and how they're needed because of role model issues (say for small, sick children). Also because men have more strength than females (not a sexists comment) and it is easier to lift patients and move them place to place. What's your thoughts on the topic?

Excellent entries. I question whether need can be measured in tons--watch for idiomatic language in formal writing (which this is not, so don't worry).
Hang onto this comment partner, and perhaps reciprocate (comment on his research); finding someone who will ask you questions is sometimes hard.
Lula,
You seem to have a lot of good information on the subject of nursing, and know where to find good sources. The article summary was very informative, but the information seemed very broad. I’m not quite sure what aspect of nursing you would like to focus on. (Maybe you haven’t decided yet!)
Thank you for your feedback on my topic of smoking and pregnancy. Most people are telling me that my idea is one sided, which it is! I need to change it to an informative paper instead so I can simply inform, not persuade (because most know smoking is bad for an un-born baby, just not it which ways).
Great start to your paper, just one more thing to add: I’m not here to judge, I’m just looking for your passion about the subject of Nursing. If you can find this, it will make your paper that much more interesting because it will put some feeling behind your writing.
Great common facts about nursing. the part about the sign on bonuses is definatly true. I know your still unsure how to narrow down what your paper will about but you could possibly use one of the specific job titles you listed. Such as forensic nursing, I'm not quite sure what that's all about. Another tip...just google the word "nursing". A whole plethura of sites will pop up, something is bound to catch your attention.
