5 Exciting Nursing Specialties
Jeff Morrow / Articlesbase
Much has changed since 1902 when school nursing began in the United States. A school nurse’s duties have greatly expanded since then. Today’s school nurse provides health assessment, intervention, and follow-up with students. You ensure the health and safety of the schools staff and students by helping to maintain the school’s compliance with health care policies. School nurses can also refer students for more medical help when hearing, vision, and other issues become inhibitors to successful learning.
Generally, you should already be a Registered Nurse (RN), and ideally, you should also hold a bachelor’s degree in nursing. Furthering a career in this field, a master’s degree in nursing or a MBA in health care will provide you career mobility and offers of policy-level positions. Many school nurses hold not only a Nurse Practitioner (NP) certification, but an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) certification.

I am also interested in Forensics. Does anyone have advice where to start? I already have my BSN. I've worked in Med/Surg, NeuroICU, PCU and LTC. I've just never seen and ad for Forensic nursing. I would like shadow a forensic nurse to see if it's what i really want to do. That's one thing you've got to love about this job is there is some many choices out there.

Well, Val, adult psychiatric nursing is a very rewarding and career path! BUT, before embarking on a particular path - i would suggest that you acquire Med-Surg experience. Patients can go bad fast and if all you know is your particular specialty area . . .
