    Career Research Essay

    The career that was researched was nursing, there are many different types of

    nurses. The tasks a nurse performs depends on the department that they are working

    in, for example if you are working in pediatrics you will do things like treat babies and

    young children, giving them shots. If you are working in urgent care then you will deal

    with more broken limbs or any other quick emergency that a hospital wouldn't take.

    To be able to work in this profession one has to be able to see anything with

    blood or other vulgar things that many people wouldn’t be able to take. It also helps to

    be good with people and to enjoy talking with them. This is because you will only be

    around people all day.

    The type of school and for how long all depends on what type of nurse you want

    to be. To become an Rn one would need an associates degree in nursing, this can even

    be obtained at a community college. At mira costa you would start by taking the

    necessary classes which are, three different science classes, one math and one english

    class. Once you've taken these classes you can apply for the nursing program, if you

    wish to continue your education to get a higher job title then you would transfer to a 4

    year college after this. Being an Rn you will start out by making $25 per hour, however

    there are special departments that will pay you more. After years of working you have

    the potential to make $50 per hour, but this won't be for a while.

    However if you don't like nursing there are other careers that are somewhat

    similar to this one. One of those careers is a physical therapist by doing this you can

    avoid any blood or other factors that may put you off nursing while still managing to help
    people. Nursing is a very steady career since people will always need nurses and

    doctors, this kind of career is not in decline at all. There will most likely always be

    nursing jobs available since it's not an industry that will just go away.

    Nursing is not an occupation that is for everyone but there are reasons why I

    believe that I will more than thrive in this job. Those reasons being that I won't be

    working in an office environment, you are also interacting with different types of people

    all day. Also though it may not seem like it there is a wide range of different types of

    nursing jobs that you can switch between so you have a lot of options for your career.
