All
the Different Kinds and Types of Nursing Jobs
Let’s
take a look at the various nursing jobs
and positions that are out there. The nursing jobs that are
typically available are classified as registered nursing (RN),
or licensed practical nursing or licensed vocational nurses
(LPN/LVN), and a nursing assistant.
RN’s (registered nurses) are
the cream of the crop as far as nurses go. They oversee the
tasks that are done by the LPNs,
and nursing assistants.
The LPN and the LVN
nurses services are to provide the basic care under the guidance
of a physician, RN (registered nurse)
or a nurse practitioner. Nursing assistants are not nurses and
they are not the same at all. Their tasks are limited to the
duties given to them by the RN or
the LPNs. A certified nursing assistant
helps the nurse by administering things such as hygienic care,
giving basic psychosocial care, and other similar tasks. Also,
the nursing jobs that are listed as full time nursing, contract
nursing, office nursing, part time nursing,
Ohospital nursing, private duty nursing, health or industrial
nursing, public health nursing, psych nursing, and my personal
favorite travel nursing. Those nurses who are full time, registered
are regularly scheduled on a 40 hour
week in a 7 day period, or an 80
hour work per week schedule in a 14
day duration, or 160 in a
4week time
frame. Office, hospital, and home nursing are the kinds of full
time nursing jobs right now. To be a part time nurse, you have
to work at least 20 hours of a 7
day period and are eligible for salaries and benefits that are
prorated.
As mentioned
above, there are a lot of nursing jobs, but contract nursing
has to be the one that is favored among the RN
career opportunities. It’s gaining such
popularity right now at a rapid rate. For those people that
prefer a more stable position in one place, then full time
nursing is the right decision. For part time nurses and travel
nursing jobs, those are best suited for those that like to
travel and work in a variety of places. Many of these nursing
jobs offer great pay and housing already paid
for.
With the
popularity of nursing jobs, there
have been a lot of website popping up and helping nursing
agencies recruit more and more nurses. These websites are
designed to assist those that are looking to find nursing
jobs across the country or even in their own backyard.
