About

When you’re sick lying in a hospital, a nurse would be your mother. A nurse is a specialist who provides care to a person suffering from a disease. This includes checking the schedule for medicines, or just being there for any kind of assistance. A nurse can also assist surgeons in surgeries.

Jobs Outlook

  • The nursing field from medicine has also made its way to the corporate sector which further increases the need of skilled people in the stream. Talking only of India, we are far- far away from reaching the adequate nurse-patient ratio.
  • It is a hectic job where you might have to work 12 or more hours shifts often.
  • There are opportunities available in the private as well as government sectors. A person from this profession has the option of working with government or private hospitals, old homes, armed forces, orphanages, industries, Indian Red Cross Society, State Nursing Councils, Indian Nursing Council and so many other endless possibilities exist today.
