The salary and need for a certain job field is not quite as important if there aren’t benefits, rewards, and enjoyment in the job. When it comes to nursing there are plenty of reasons why this is a career that you will not only enjoy but incredibly rewarding as well.

• Flexible Schedule: Nursing offers flexible working through the shift work patterns. There are opportunities to work part-time so you can fit your family around your career. If you work independently, you can choose the hours you work. Sometimes, you’ll work during the holidays, but you can also schedule quieter days off — and vacations are cheaper during off-peak times. There are not many jobs where there is so much flexibility.
• Opportunity to Travel: A Registered Nurse Degree from countries like the USA is a passport to traveling the world. You’ll find you can work across the globe and combine your nursing career with travel. If you want to work in the developing world or are dreaming of a transfer to a warmer climate, nursing is the ticket.
• Helping Others: One of the most rewarding aspects of nursing is the way in which nurses get to know the patients, especially in rehabilitation, caring for people with chronic disease and as part of a holistic medicine career. This unique relationship is what makes nursing so special and attracts people to the profession. There are opportunities to meet people at the beginning of life and at the end of their lives, which is a unique quality of being a nurse.
• Become Your Own Boss: One of the surprising parts of being a nurse is that it gives you the foundations to set out and become an entrepreneur. Your qualification gives you that added credibility, so if you want to head off developing apps or set up an alternative medicine career, nursing is a good way to start. Nurses can also set up care homes, develop health products and more. Technology is an emerging subspecialty with new developments happening all the time, and can be a perfect opportunity to carve out a career pathway.
• A Shorter Career Path: A medical doctor career can take a number of years – four in medical school then an additional three to seven years in residency. At the American Institute of Alternative Medicine you can become a Registered Nurse in only 24 months.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics: American Bureau of Labor Statistics: Employment of registered nurses is projected to grow 15 percent from 2016 to 2026, much faster than the average for all occupations. Growth will occur for a number of reasons, including an increased emphasis on preventive care; growing rates of chronic conditions, such as diabetes and obesity; and demand for healthcare services from the baby-boom population, as they live longer and more active lives.
