Nursing today is an exciting profession that offers both women and men career opportunities with substantial growth and earning potential.

Today's nurses continue to be admired and respected as health care professionals and patient advocates. Through this dedication to the physical, emotional, and spiritual well being of their patients, nurses demonstrate each day what special people they are.

Many registered nurses work in specialty areas in the hospital after specific training—such as Critical Care, Pediatrics, the Operating Room, and the Emergency Department.

The bedside is not the only option. Nurses, including many LVNs, also work in outpatient clinics and, with advanced education, can pursue leadership roles or careers as advanced practice nurses such as Educator/CNS, nurse practitioner, nurse midwife, or certified registered nurse anaesthetist (CRNA).

Today's nurses have opportunities to advance their careers at their own pace, while exploring job options in other nursing disciplines of interest. At Kaiser Permanente, we encourage our nurses to explore their professional pursuits and increase knowledge, earning power, and job satisfaction throughout our integrated health delivery system.

Nursing, today, is a career where the demands are great, but the rewards are even more plentiful. If you are looking for an exciting career with job security, career advancement, personal satisfaction, and lifelong learning, then nursing at Kaiser Permanente is for you!
