In this article the author states that employment as a Registered Nurse is expected to grow at least 19% between now and 2022. As a graduating senior in the class of 2015, this is a great outlook on how much easier it will be to find a job soon after graduating. Another positive outlook on this growth expectation is that it is actually higher than all other professions. Becoming a Registered Nurse is awesome and has wonderful benefits and you will always have a job. However, there are few negative sides of being an RN. One being the tendency to mess up ones back. Registered nurses are busy bees in the hospital and do a lot of bending, picking up, pushing, and carrying. With that said, nurses must prepare themselves and be physically able to perform these tasks. Another down side to nursing is night shifts. Because there are always sick people, nurses are required to work in shifts 24/7. As a nurse, one may work Weekdays, Weekends , or Nights. Most hospitals have it set up that Registered Nurses work three or four days a week for twelve hours each. One positive piece of information that I read in this article was that they have listed out the classes that one must take to become an RN. With this information, it will really help us out as nursing students on arranging our schedules! “Anatomy, physiology, microbiology, chemistry, nutrition, psychology, and other social and behavioral sciences, as well as liberal arts” (http://www.bls.gov/ooh/healthcare/registered-nurses.htm#tab-4)”.
Nurses must have critical thinking skills, compassion, speaking skills, physical stanima, and emotional stability. Without each of these skills, one could not possibly be a great nurse. “Most registered nurses begin as staff nurses in hospitals or community health settings. With experience, good performance, and continuous education, they can move to other settings or be prompted to positions with more responsibility” (http://www.bls.gov/ooh/healthcare/registered-nurses.htm#tab-4).
This source is credible because it is sponsered by the United States government. This source is also credible because my teacher, Mrs. Killingsworth, reccommended that we use sweetsearch.com and it then referenced me to the Bureau of Labor Statistics website.
I will use this annotated bibliography and all the information that I recieved from the Bureau of Labor Statistics website to fulfill my final project and research paper. Within all of this information, I now have both the positive and negative sides of becoming a registered nurse. I have also learned about the physical well being a nurse must carry and how healthy one must stay in order to provide the care needed by the patients that we will have. The BLS website has provided more information than I could ever use and for the most part, it will all be apart of my final research paper and project.
