  • The worldwide nursing shortage means an abundance of employment opportunities for nursing school graduates. A variety of opportunities are available. Nurses work in a wide range of settings, including hospitals, clinics, schools, and long-term care facilities, just to name a few. There are also many fields within nursing, such as critical care, gerontology, informatics, obstetrics, oncology, pediatrics, surgery, and management. As physicians become increasingly specialized, nurses have more opportunities to provide direct care to patients. Expanding opportunities exist.
  • There is practically unlimited room for advancement. With a BSN, a student can pursue a Master of Science in Nursing degree and take nursing practice to a new level by becoming a nurse anesthetist, midwife, nurse practitioner, or clinical nurse specialist. For more information about Nursing as a career watch this YouTube Video.
  • Salaries are competitive. Starting salaries for nurses can top $55,000. With more experience, the earning potential can exceed $70,000 (based on 2008 brochure). Average salaries in Texas for nurses in 2012 exceeds $62,000 in most cites. Watch these YouTube videos for more details -- Video 1 and Video 2 .
  • Job Security is excellent. During this time of short supply and high demand, the healthcare industry is striving to retain the nurses it currently has while attracting new recruits. Watch this YouTube video-- Job Security in Nursing.
  • Flexible schedules can be arranged. Because there is a need for nurses twenty-four hours a day, hours can be arranged to fit lifestyles.
