Occupational Outlook

CALIFORNIA OUTLOOK: in some areas shortages exist. Employment prospects are currently good for both the experienced and the newly graduated nurse, especially for those working night shifts, and for those in specialties such as intensive care, coronary care, or emergency room nurses. The rapid growth of the home health field is expected to increase demand for RN's. Competition can be expected for higher paying jobs in the more desirable geographic areas and on the more desirable shifts.

Training Education Registered nursing programs are two, three, or

four years in length. Associate degree, diploma, and bachelor's degree programs are designed to prepare people to promote health care and provide patient care. Bachelor's degree programs also are designed to prepare people for leadership positions in hospitals, clinics, and schools. Master's and doctoral degree programs in nursing are designed to prepare clinical specialists, nurse clinicians, teachers, and administrators for hospitals, clinics, community agencies, and schools of nursing, as well as researchers and nursing theorists.
