Embark on a journey of discovery through the world of nursing careers. Explore the diverse opportunities available, from traditional roles in hospitals to positions beyond the bedside.
Each nurse’s journey is unique. We aim to highlight their firsthand experiences, providing an insider’s perspective on the nursing profession.
One of the most rewarding aspects of my 20-year nursing career is the diverse opportunities available. I’ve worked in various settings, including labor and delivery, ambulatory care, the Intensive Care Unit, home health, informatics, leadership roles, and clinical practice. I love helping people at all stages of life and am very proud or my nursing profession.
One of the most fulfilling aspects of nursing is the profound connections we build with our patients. Despite often encountering them during challenging times – supporting them through health crises, witnessing births, or providing end-of-life care – we quickly establish deep bonds and play a pivotal role in their lives.
One of the most rewarding aspects of nursing is the ability to explore various roles and specialties while remaining in the same profession. Throughout my 15-year nursing career, I’ve transitioned between roles in med-surg, critical care, case management, and ER and received training in several other areas. Nursing offers endless opportunities for change and growth – if you’re feeling burnt out or something new is a better fit for your life, your skills can easily be applied to a new area within nursing.
