Working Environment

The environment in which a nurse works depends very heavily on the area they are specializing. It can be very stressful if you work with people in critical condition or elderly people who don't have a long life ahead of them. Patients with physical or mental disabilities can also cause you to feel helpless or even stressed.
On the other hand, nursing can be a very rewarding and exciting job. There is no better feeling than to help someone in need and that is percisely the feeling of those in the medical field after asissting someone in need.
As a nurse, you can work part-time or full-time hours, depending on your wishes and family-life. A full-time nurse works an average of 35 to 45 hours a week and gets 15 to 30 vacation days per year. The salary of a full-time nurse can be anywhere from $40 000 to $90 000 a year, depending on the education recieved, experiance and area in which you are specialized. :)
