Why Now Is The Best Time To Become A Nurse

Blog· Healthy

5 Apr

If you were still uncertain about which profession you should opt for, then you should definitely consider going for nursing. Not only is it one of the most rewarding positions out there, but the demand is soaring at the moment for qualified nurses. Demographic pressure is in large part responsible for the increased demand on the healthcare system, and specialized nurses consequently. Here’s why becoming a nurse in 2018 is a great decision for any student.

Huge Demand

Since more baby boomers are retiring, there will be a huge demand of nurses in the next coming years. In addition to that, the Affordable Care Act has allowed more Americans to get access to health insurance, which will also increase the demand for healthcare services and qualified nurses. And not only that, but the workforce is aging as well, which will open up even more positions for nurses.

These trends are regional as well, and many states in the West and South of the country will be even more affected due to a stronger population growth compared to other states, but with a much weaker nursing pipeline. Rural hospitals will be affected as well since they won’t be able to match the salaries offered by urban hospital, not to mention they won’t be as close to the average nursing school. This means that no matter where you are in the country, you’ll have great employment opportunities wherever you go as a nurse.

Career and Financial Security

No matter the specialization, nurses tend to be paid better than the national median income. And in some states like California, nurses can earn up to $94,000 per year. Nurse in states like Massachusetts, Hawaii and Alaska also pay above $80,000 on average, and that’s for registered nurses.

While your sole motivation for becoming a nurse shouldn’t be your main objective, the financial security that nurses enjoy is something that is pretty rare in other professions.

More Specializations than Ever

More than ever, nursing positions are becoming more diverse and more specialized. Positions like holistic nurse and utilization review nurse did not exist not too long ago.

Nurses can now access positions that are way beyond the scope of nursing. There are more opportunities for nursing writers now than ever before and there is an increasing demand for nursing informaticists and research nurses as well. Insurance companies are also recruiting nurses for case management. These companies are looking for qualified and experienced nurses to review documentation and assess claims.

The profession also offers great chances for advancement as well. More nurses are choosing to continue their education online after they become registered, which allows them further chances for advancement and to attend more specialized or managerial positions.

As you can see, there are many reasons to consider becoming a nurse in 2018. The demand is only going to go up for healthcare providers across the board, making it one of the best sectors for new graduates.
