Nursing

Hi,
Traditionally, nursing has been a women oriented profession. Though the number of male nurses is increasing. Outside of India the number of male nurses is much higher. There is a great demand of trained nurses. It does not make much difference whether you have done Diploma in nursing or B.Sc in nursing as far as job opportunities and growth prospects are concerned. In some hospitals, there could be some difference in the structure of increments and promotions. However, this is not significant. You can specialize in Psychiatry, Public health, Cancer treatment, Operation theatre or Pediatric nursing and can join hospitals, clinics or pharmaceutical companies. There is a great demand of trained nurses in rural areas, schools, industries, health departments, orphanages, old age homes, defense, industrial houses etc. He can also join the health department of Railways or other public sector medical departments. There is also the option of joining a training institute as an educator.
