There is not only a
nursing shortage in Texas but throughout the United States. Because
of this demand for nurses the employer has raised the pay rates and
bonuses to attract potential nursing employees.
According to TWC
" Texas will need up to 138,000 Licensed
Practical Nurses, Registered Nurses, and Nurses Aides within the
next seven to ten years. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects
nursing as the fastest growing occupation over the next five years
and one that will continue to provide long-term stable jobs for
future generations.
Nursing has always been emotionally
rewarding; now with signing bonuses of up to $5,000 and average
annual salaries of $42,620, it is also financially rewarding.
Special programs and incentives are available to help people become
and remain nurses."
Nurse Aides
today are working in virtually every area of the health field. You
can find them in critical care and emergency rooms to pediatric
units and of course nursing homes. If you are ever in a medical
area, look around, you will be suprised to find who is a Nurse Aide
and how many there are.
Many Nurse
Aides today are choosing to further their careers by becoming
L.V.N.s, R.N.s or other professions in the health
field.
