Occupation – Nursing
Nursing is a profession that became really popular for past few years. There are many reasons why people are joining nursing program and why they want to become a nurse. For me itââ¬â¢s a family thing. My grandma and my mother both were nurses, but I also find it interesting myself. I choose this occupation because it ensures good salary, loads of benefits, such as health and life insurance, itââ¬â¢s challenging and it is a job that Iââ¬â¢m sure I will derive a great satisfaction. According to U. S.Bureau of Labor Statistics to become a nurse Iââ¬â¢ll have to take anatomy, physiology, microbiology, chemistry, nutrition, psychology and other social science courses. Iââ¬â¢ll also need clinical experience. Thereââ¬â¢re three education path that I can choose: a bachelor's degree in nursing, an associateââ¬â¢s degree in nursing, or a diploma from an approved nursing program. I choose to get my diploma first, and then after finding a job, continue my education, and try to get a bachelor degree, to have a better job prospects. Employment of registered nurses from 2010 to 2020 will grow up to 26 percent, which is much faster than any other occupation.Opportunity to find a job in this profession is excellent. As a nurse I can find a job in a medical and surgical hospitals, offices of physicians, home health care services, nursing care facilities. Also I can work with the military, in correctional facilities, or educational services. When it comes to work environment, register nurses spend a lot of time standing, walking, bending a lifting, so back stress is a very common disease. Because nurses are surrounded by patients who have infectious diseases they have to follow strict rules to protect they health.Schedule in a hospital is very flexible, thereââ¬â¢re a large variety of shift, so there are a lot of choices to find a schedule that will fit me the best. Also there are many promotion opportunities for nurses. Register nurses begin they work as staff nurses in hospital, but after they build some experience and prove that they can perform well in this job, they can be promoted to more responsible positions. They can become head nurses, they can work in administration, or as university faculty. They can also specialize in one nursing career.For example be a clinical nurse specialist, with average salary $90,000 a year. The salary for me is a big part of a job, it helps me to enjoy it, and gives me motivation to work harder. When youââ¬â¢re paid well you perform good at work. According to U. S.

Salary is determined by several factors such as setting, education and work experience. I think for that kind of job this salary is competitive.I also found out that if I need any extra money I can work overtime and holidays which are paid extra. For me it is very important to know th at I can afford things I want, and donââ¬â¢t have to worry that I wonââ¬â¢t have enough money till next month. Also good salary is a big part of the job satisfaction, when Iââ¬â¢m getting paid well I feel like my work is appreciated.
