A Career As A Family Nurse Practitioner

Decent Essays
Based on what I’ve heard and collected from television, the internet, and nurses that I know or am related to, nursing isn’t a job that is cut out for everyone. Nurses do the jobs that no one else wants to do. It is a specialty that is active in so many different fields of medicine, and no matter where you go as a nurse, there will be a job opening for you. I hope to learn the benefits of this career field, and exactly what the education will be like. I also hope to learn what the ideal course of going about getting my education should be through interviewing a registered nurse who is currently taking classes to get her masters in nursing to become a family nurse practitioner.
