In studying to become a nurse, one must also know that in becoming a nurse, you are becoming part of a team that must work together in order to ensure one hundred percent patient care and treatment. The health care team consists of the physician, who is a professional with earned doctorates in medicine; the physician’s assistant, who is trained to support a physician as needed; the allied health professionals, therapists, whom is licensed to assist in the examination, testing and treatment of physically disabled people who need special exercise to be treated; the pharmacist who is also licensed to formulate and give out medications; the social worker who is trained to counsel clients and their families; and the chaplain, who offer spiritual support and guidance to patients and their families.

In doing this term paper, not only did I get a much clearer picture to what my future as a nurse will be but now I have a better chance in planning how to go about it. In the field of nursing, there are many different parts of nursing to consider. Let’s say that after I finish studying to become a Pediatric Nurse and end up not liking the career, there are many ways in which I can go into another career in nursing. I feel that the widely diversified field of nursing is what interests me more. There are all kinds of nurses and many ways to become one. The important part of becoming a nurse is knowing how to plan your schooling so that you, in the long run, are flexible to change just in case. Successful career planning starts with self-assessment: this can make the difference between floundering in a series of unsatisfying jobs and enjoying a rich and rewarding nursing career.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, nursing will be one to the top ten fastest growing professions in the United States in the next decade. By the year 2008, thousands of nurses will be needed. About 450 thousand registered nurses and one 136 thousand licensed practical nurses will be needed. According to the National Council of State Boards of Nursing, the number of first-time, U.S. educated nursing school graduates who sat for the NCLEX-RN, the exam taken to get license as registered nurse, decreased by thirty one percent from 1995 to 2002. That is a total of about thirty thousand students less than expected amount.
