I  chose  nursing as a career of choice to research, using the" Occupational Outlook Handbook". Nursing based on the outlook handbook is growing faster than the average for all occupations listed in the outlook handbook. In fact, the rate of growth is expected to be 26% between 2010-2020 based on the finding of Occupational Outlook -2012. Nursing is just one of the many interesting and diverse careers listed in the outlook hand book, which is a tremendous resource for career information.


The Occupational Outlook Handbook -2012, provides information on career choices, such as training required, license requirements, salaries, advancement and the future outlook for opportunities. It is a valuable research tool to utilize in seeking information about careers .


In general, nurses provide  numerous duties including health advice, patient care, support to patients, their families and the community. Nurses have the opportunity to work in many locations and fields including schools, nursing homes, clinics, offices, and hospitals. Specific fields include pediatrics, emergency and ambulatory care.

To Wear or Not To Wear?: Tips on dressing for success

By
So, the first step is over. You finished filling out the application for the job; listing all of your work experience, answering numerous questions about your work ethic on an online questionnaire, and you even polished up your hand dandy resume! After restless nights of worrying, you finally get a call saying they would love to have you come in for an interview: now what? First, don't panic ! Finding an appropriate outfit can be intimidating, but with the help of Google it is possible. Second, the outfit you should wear is based on what type of position you are going for or what your potential company is. If it's a store like Macy's, for example, it would make sense for you to wear all black since that's the kind of uniform the employees wear.  If you're working in an office setting, then you should go either business casual or professional.
