National Nurses Week is May 6-12.

Today’s nurses aren’t much like what you see on “General Hospital.”  They don’t all wear white, and many specialize in management, cancer therapy, technology, or forensic issues, to name a few.

Nurses are the “glue that holds the health care system together,” according to an expert quoted in this article. The field is still growing, offering a lot of staying power.  It’s also a great field for career-switchers who want to ditch a desk job.
