Nursing Career and Education

Nursing has traditionally been in great demand, but ageing baby boomers, health-care reform, and medical advancements have pushed demand even higher. Registered nurses, licenced practical and vocational nurses, and advanced practise nurses, such as nurse practitioners and clinical nursing specialists, are expected to outperform the national average in the decade leading up to 2022, according to the Bureau of Labour Statistics (BLS).

Informatics nurse specialists take this tech-career integration to a whole new level. All nurses working in today's high-tech world must be familiar with computers and a range of programmes, but informatics nurse specialists take this tech-career integration to a whole new level. These individuals assist in the design, development, and modification of software and systems in order to improve efficiency and patient outcomes. To put it another way, informatics nurses ensure that the technology used by other nurses is practical, dependable, and safe. Informatics nursing is also in such great demand that O*NET has classified it as a "bright outlook" employment with a growth rate nearly twice that of the national average for all fields between 2012 and 2022.
