Calling All Nurses: Charleston, SC!
Retiring Nurses Create Opportunities for the Next Generation
Nurses care for those who are too injured or ill to care for themselves. They work to educate and care for patients with various chronic conditions, such as arthritis, dementia, diabetes, and obesity. A majority of the current nursing workforce is getting ready to retire, making room for the next generation.
Nursing offers a wide range of benefits, both material and intangible, including:
- Job Security – employment of registered nurses is projected to grow 16 percent from 2014 to 2024, much faster than the average for all occupations.
- Flexible Schedules – nurses are needed 24 hours a day, which means you can often craft a schedule that fits your life.
- Saving Lives – whether it’s performing CPR or asking the right question that allows for an accurate diagnosis, nurses save lives every day.
- Opportunity for Travel – nursing is a skill that can be carried from one state – or even one country – to another.
- Upward Mobility – nurses can specialize in key areas of care. With additional education, they can work as nurse practitioners, nurse anesthetists, pediatric nurses, and in hospice.
