¶ … career prospects in healthcare, I would recommend nursing.
The American Nurses Association explains that because of the vast increases in the number of people that are over 65 and the healthcare services they are going to need, nurses will continue to be in demand (ANA). The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reports that there is a continuing nursing shortage and that the number of nurses graduating from nursing school with a bachelor's degree has grown by 86% over the past five years but that is still "too small" to fill the needs (HRSA).
Also of concern with regards to the nursing shortage is the fact that an estimated 269,100 RNs will be retiring in the next year or so, and 81,000 current RNs are planning to go to part-time work (ASA). The nation needs to train and educate 1.13 million new RNs in order to meet the challenges by 2022; this also takes into account the additional nursing staffing created by the Affordable Care Act which gives millions of people access to the healthcare system. Assuming somehow...
The answer again is, nursing; there is no
doubt whatsoever that there will be jobs available for newly trained RNs.
So the bottom line is, if a person wants to train for a
position in healthcare,
training as a nurse absolutely assures that person will find a job. The nursing shortage is expected to grow, not shrink, hence, go into nursing for a career and you'll find work for sure.
TWO: A fellow
student is obviously cutting and pasting copy from a source online. The first thing I would do after seeing him plagiarize -- and even before I find his paper in the printer -- is to remind the student that the
professor uses Turn-it-in. That means there is no doubt that the blocks of copy he has cut and pasted from Internet sources will be discovered. I would not make a
moral issue out of it, because if he wants to
risk his grade -- and perhaps risk getting a zero for the class -- that is his problem. But as a colleague who sits right next to him, I would remind him that his plagiarism will be detected and he'll pay a serious price for it. It is not my job to tell…
