Making informed career decisions requires reliable information about opportunities in the future. Opportunities result from the relationships between the population, labor force, and the demand for goods and services.
In recent years the medical assisting profession has become one of the fastest growing careers in the health care field. Not only have physicians become more dependant on medical assistants, but their services are also being sought after by hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes, as well as medical supply businesses, home health agencies, insurance companies, and pharmaceutical companies.
Health care professionals who already are registered nurses (RNs) and those who go on to earn the bachelor or master degree in nursing (RN to BSN, MSN) are often heading for careers as managers, teachers, and trainers. They may also work as health educators or provide direct patient care, including assisting physicians and are often managers of RNs and other nurses. RNs also develop and manage nursing care plans, instruct patients and their families in proper care, and help individuals and groups take steps to improve or maintain their health. RNs may be employed at jobsites, in hospitals and clinics, in schools, and communities.
