Is There a Nurse in the House?
You know how they always ask if there's a "doctor in the house," in the movies? This always happens whenever someone faints on stage or collapses in a restaurant. Well, with the way medical technology and training have advanced in recent years, it's reasonable to say that nurses, EMTs, and medical assistants can provide comparable care in the absence of hospital equipment. And their bill (if there is a bill) will often be much more affordable.
The Rapid Growth of Medical Training The registered nurses of today are a far cry from the demure and dainty screen personas featured in countless Hollywood flicks of the 1950s. They do more than dress wounds and wait for authoritative orders from an equally authoritative doctor (always played by a Gary Cooper type in the movies). The nurses of today take blood, administer medicine, monitor vitals, update records, and provide crucial administrative support. They also work side-by-side with surgeons in emergency rooms, obstetricians in maternity wards, and anesthesiologists in operating theaters. And instead of having basic knowledge of first aid and CPR, they specialize in critical care, trauma, neuroscience, holistic healing, hospice care and everything in between.
The in-depth knowledge provided through associate, bachelor's, and master's training helps to explain why nurses and other medical personnel are in such high demand. Through 2016, experts estimate that positions for nurses will grow by 23%, which is more than twice the national average. So if you're looking for a job that offers job security, personal fulfillment and daily challenges, look no further. And if you ever see someone collapse at a restaurant, you know whom to ask for, right? "Is there a doctor in the house?"
