Description:
A Majoring in Your Life career-advice book for students.
In Majoring in Nursing, Janet R. Katz gives prospective nurses a tour of the profession and helps them evaluate whether it's the right career for them.
In this personal, funny, and informative guide, Katz explores what it means to be a nurse and addresses many of the misconceptions about the profession. Nursing is a dynamic field and Katz examines the rich career prospects it has to offer. Whether you are interested in working on a helicopter emergency unit or in home health care, for an international relief organization or in the House of Representatives, doing scientific research or teaching at a university, nursing provides a wealth of opportunity limited only by your initiative and desire.
Katz also addresses the practical issues behind becoming a nurse. She explores the different levels of education (from an associate's degree to a master's of science in nursing); how to choose and get into the right school; how to conquer such intimidating subjects as organic chemistry and microbiology; and how to find your first job.
Packed full of the experiences of a wide range of nurses--both men and women--Majoring in Nursing is the only practical yet personal guide available to aid the prospective nurse.
