Nursing is a beautiful profession that gives you the opportunity to make a difference. Although the doctor treats various diseases, it is the nurses who nurse the patients back to health and see to it that they can get on with their life as soon as possible.
Nurses are an integral part of the society and the medical system and there will always be a demand for experienced and qualified nurses all over the world. Apart from this feeling of doing something wonderful for mankind there are also many other reasons why you can consider a career in nursing.
Interestingly enough, not many students who come to me for career counseling ask much about nursing. However, since nursing is such a wonderful profession both in terms of stability and earning potential, I do try to tell the students to give it a thought. Here I would like to talk about all the reasons why students should consider a career in nursing as I really feel that there is lack of awareness regarding this career option.
Reasons to Consider a Career in Nursing
Nursing is quite an Exciting Job: Unlike other jobs where you know that you have to follow the same rigmarole every day, nursing is equal parts exciting and challenging. Almost every day, new patients with new issues and new demands come into the hospital. These patients not only need customized care plan, also need a customized approach to help them feel better. This in itself is quite a challenge and nurses always need to be on their toes to ensure that the patients are properly cared for.
Nurses can make a real difference: The doctor definitely treats a patient but it is after all the nurse who has to care for the patient and get him/her back on toes. Apart from administering medications from time to time, nurses also need to give patients the pep talk to help them feel hopeful and continue to fight with the situation. Not only the patient, nurses also ensure that the patient’s family is well informed about the patient’s health and they are well equipped to deal with the situation too. Many nurses also help their communities by volunteering for camps and free clinics. Nurses are the ones in touch with the people and their issues and with their knowledge and compassion; they can make a real difference.
Nurses can get jobs quite easily: There is always a growing demand for nurses all over the world. It is as such quite easy for nurses to get a job right after finishing their degree. In fact, the top Nursing Colleges in West Bengal usually have tie-ups with many good hospitals where qualified nurses can get quick placements.
Nurses get a good salary package and have a stable job: Nursing is not just a course, it is a skill set that will always be in great demand as no machines or robots can replace the human touch. As such, after doing a nursing course in West Bengal, Odisha, Delhi or anywhere for that matter, qualified nurses can get a job with a good pay package. Moreover, since nurses are always in demand, a qualified nurse will always have various options to choose from when it comes to taking up a job.
Nursing can be a wonderful career option for people who have that inclination to serve and want to make a difference.
Summary:
Nursing is a noble profession that requires skill and compassion. Apart from the humane side of this profession there is also the job stability and earning potential to look at before making a career choice and nursing offers it all.
