Career Choice History Another name for registered nursing is hospital nursing. Hospital nursing started thousands of years ago. It is said that hospital nursing began as early as AD 331. The future of registered nursing is expected to gain more employability. By 2010, employability is expected to be around three million. When Christianity developed, with its teachings of duty, love, and brotherhood, caring for the sick gained new impetus. Nursing can be seen to rise from two wellsprings, one scientific, the other religious and social. Acceleration of scientific advancement in health began with the 16th century. (“History of Nursing”) During the 19th century the “germ theory” of disease was developed; ways of treating and preventing infectious diseases, then the largest cause of death, were introduced. Anesthesia was also discovered. Anesthesia is also known as anesthetics. Inhaled anesthetics act very quickly because of their rapid access into the bloodstream of the lungs and from there directly into the arterial circulation to the brain. It involves loss of consciousness and mild muscle relaxation. (“Drug”) The growing mass of new knowledge to be applied in health services by health workers challenged the educational system for physicians, nurses, and others and strained the system of distribution of services to an awakened public. Nursing has changed greatly since it first started. There were more wars, new diseases, decreasing health, and births that helped develop nursing in the hospital. With technology changing everyday, hospital nursing is an on-the-job learning career. Job Market Analysis Registered employability is increasing every year. Right now, employability in registered nursing is growing rapidly. Nursing is the best career in the medical field to go into right now because it lets you work in a variety of fields (surgery, pediatrics, and home care.) and it also pays well when you first start working. In the future, it is estimated that employability will increase, probably over three million by the year 2030.
