What Jobs Are in the Nursing Field?
When we think of nursing jobs, we usually think of the helpful angelic presence that we see during a hospital stay. The truth is, there are so many types of jobs that involve nursing skills and/or training that do not involve one on one patient care, you will really be surprised. For instance, some nursing jobs that don’t fit the stereotypical example of nursing include telephone triage nurse, nurse attorney, nurse researcher, case management nursing, camp nursing, business in nursing, flight/transport nursing, lifecare planner nursing, and nurse educator.
