PLAN B

REGISTERED NURSE

Maddie Smith

WHAT WOULD I T YPICAL DAY LOOK LIKE?


A typical day for a day nurse would
be going over the things that might
have happened that night. You
would then spend your whole day
with patients and their families. A
lot of the day you would be giving
medication to the patients. But
monitoring them and being there
for their needs. Like changing
bandages or IV's. It would be a
long day but you learn something
new every day and it's worth every
minute of it.

WORKING CONDITIONS?
You could work nights or days, either 12 hours or 8 hours
shifts. You would have to be careful of your surroundings,
such as not wanting to stab yourself with needles or touching
things with your bare hands. Being a nurse is an all year round
job. You dont just have to work in a hospital but other options
would be a cruise ship or teaching about being a registered
nurse. It is an indoors job and you would be required to wear
Scrubs.

SALARY
$66k-$95k

FUTURE OUTLOOK
Being a registered nurse will always being required in the
future. Unless people stop getting sick then a nurse will
always be a demand.

POST SECONDARY INSTITUTE


You will need a University Degree.

WHAT ARE OTHER OPTIONS IF NURSING


DOESNT WORK OUT?
Midwife, Dental Assistant or Counselor. I love working with
kids and being social. All three of my other options if being a
Nurse didn't work out, are all related with health care. Which
is what I'm most interested in.

WHY ARE YOU INTERESTED IN THIS


CAREER?
Becoming a nurse has been one of my interests for a few
years. I love interacting with other people and making people
happy. I have a very positive attitude to help with talking with
others and Im more of hands on worker.
