There are a lot of factors to consider when deciding whether it is the right career for you. The following information can help as a guide to gauging your interest in becoming a nurse.</p><h2 id="should-i-become" class="">Should I become a nurse?</h2><p class="">The need for more nurses in the healthcare field is an urgent issue. According to a <a href="https://www.aacnnursing.org/News-Information/Fact-Sheets/Nursing-Shortage#textthe20rn20workforce20is20expectedand20to20replace20retiring20nurses" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" class="underline transition-colors external-link">fact sheet from the American Association of Colleges of Nursing</a>, the aging baby boomer population, who increasingly require more health care services, paired with a large segment of the nursing workforce that is nearing retirement, are two major factors in the demand for new nurses.</p><p class="">However, a positive job market outlook is not the only reason you might consider a certain career. Itâs important to additionally analyze the benefits and challenges of being a nurse to make sure it will be a good fit for you.</p><h3 class="">Benefits</h3><p class="">There are many benefits to choosing a career in nursing:</p><ul><li><strong>Ability to specialize</strong> â through education and training, there is potential for nurses to specialize in areas of care that they are passionate about. For example, adventurous individuals who want to help wherever they are needed may consider <a href="/blog/travel-nurse-careers/" class="underline transition-colors">becoming a travel nurse</a>.</li><li><strong>Room for growth </strong>â Through education and training, it is possible to advance your nursing career. For example, a registered nurse may decide to earn a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) degree to <a href="/advanced-practice-nursing/nurse-practitioner/" class="underline transition-colors">become a nurse practitioner</a>, a position that may grant more autonomy and added responsibility.</li><li><strong>Make a difference â </strong>Working in health care allows individuals to impact the lives of many. While it can be a challenging career, nursing is a job that allows individuals to help others on a daily basis.</li></ul><h2 id="things-to-consider" class="">Things to Consider When Choosing a Nursing Career</h2><p class="">Before pursuing a nursing career, it is important to do your due diligence in planning your path. There are many things to consider, including your personal goals, the demand for your specialty of choice, location and salary projections. Researching these factors can help determine which type of health care position will work best for you and your life.</p><h3 class="">Goals</h3><p class="">Ask yourself what type of nursing career you want. Is there a particular setting in which you want to work, such as a hospital or a doctorâs office? Is there a specific population youâd like to treat? Understanding your goals can help you decide which nursing degree can help you achieve them.</p><h3 class="">Demand</h3><p class="">Itâs also critical to understand the job market outlook for the type of nursing that interests you. Doing so can help in the process of finding a position, maintaining that role, and advancing in the future. For example, based on recommendations set by the National Academy of Medicine, <a href="https://campaignforaction.org/issue/transforming-nursing-education/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" class="underline transition-colors external-link">there is an increased focus on registered nurses earning a bachelorâs degree</a>. <a href="https://www.bls.gov/ooh/healthcare/registered-nurses.htm#tab-6" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" class="underline transition-colors external-link">
97Registered nurse roles are expected to grow 9%</a> from 2020 to 2030, much faster than the average for all occupations. Individuals considering a career as an RN should take that into consideration when choosing their education path in order to meet the requirements of potential employers.</p><h3 class="">Location</h3><p class="">Where you plan to practice as a nurse is also an important factor to consider. In addition to varying demand for nurses in each community, <a href="/states/" class="underline transition-colors">licensure requirements for nursing</a> can also differ by state. Prospective nurses should have in mind their desired location for work and be prepared to take additional steps if they plan to move during the span of their career.</p><h3 class="">Salary</h3><p class="">Before a nurse chooses a career, they should also be aware of the salary expectation that a role demands and understand the growth potential of that career going forward.
