Nursing is an excellent choice for men and women interested in a healthcare career. Projected by the U.S. Department of Labor as the fastest growing occupation in the economy, few other professions offer its range of opportunities, geographical mobility, and security. In fact, the U.S. Healthcare Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) estimates a shortage of several hundred thousand nurses by 2020, which should make the profession increasingly attractive. Nursing enables candidates to positively impact all parts of society -- infants, teens, adults, and the elderly. Nurses promote health, provide care that prevents disease, help patients cope with illness, and serve as advocates and health educators for patients, families and communities. In fact, nurses make up the largest segment of the healthcare work force at 29 percent. In hospital settings, there are four nurses for every physician.
