Explore the many hats worn by nurses
Enter a hospital, doctor’s office, adult- care facility or medical clinic, and you are bound to encounter nurses. “Nurse” is a broad term used to
describe those who perform patient-based care in a variety of settings. A nurse’s duties and title varies depending on educational background and the certifications and licenses he or she has received.
Here are the common types of nursing careers:
• Nursing aide/orderly: Nursing aides and orderlies help nurses care for patients and perform routine tasks. Aides and orderlies spend most of their time with patients, serving meals, keeping patients comfortable, answering call lights, making beds and giving baths. A high school diploma may be all that’s needed to become a nursing aide.
• Licensed practical nurse: An LPN studies for a year after earning a high
school diploma and must be licensed in the state in which he or she will work. LPNs typically record medical histories, weigh and measure patients, record symptoms and administer injections.
• Registered nurse: An RN typically pursues a two-year associate degree in nursing or may earn a bachelor’s degree in the field. RNs must pass a national exam before they are licensed. The duties of an RN are generally more varied and in-depth than those of an LPN.
• Nurse practitioner: Nurse practitioners are among the most educated hospital em- ployees. In addition to their RN study, they earn a master’s degree and may specialize in one area. Also, NPs may be able to work outside of the authority of a physician. In such instances, an NP can run a medical practice, just as a doctor would.
