I always like to think there are two types of people. There\u2019s the type that likes to ease into things. They enjoy relaxing and reading a good book and lounging around when they have the time. Then there are the movers. They\u2019re the ones that constantly need to be doing something. Whether it\u2019s cleaning, exercising, or simply just staying active, they despise staying still for longer than necessary. If you\u2019re the latter, and in the healthcare field, particularly nursing, you might want to consider some of these fast-paced nursing jobs. While these jobs can often be stressful, they\u2019ll certainly be guaranteed to keep you up and moving while providing the best possible care. Below are just a few fast-paced nursing jobs to consider.<\/p>\n

Fast-Paced Nursing Jobs<\/h2>\n

ER Nurse<\/h3>\n

Some of the most popular and well known\u00a0fast-paced nursing jobs are ER nurses<\/a>. ER nurses are registered nurses (RNs). According to the\u00a0Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)<\/a>, demand for all types of RNs is expected to grow 19 percent between 2012 and 2022, faster than average for U.S. occupations. The median yearly compensation for an RN is $65,470, according to BLS.\u00a0About 30% of nurses in the U.S. are Emergency Nurses, who specialize in rapid assessment and treatment when every second is crucial to a patient\u2019s survival, especially during the first stage of illness or injury.<\/p>\n

As an ER nurse, you will work directly with ER doctors and help to maintain the health of patients. You will also relay information to friends and family of the patient. While you\u2019ll usually work a similar shift every day, you can expect that no two days will be the same. This is one of the most important aspects of becoming an ER nurse. Fast paced nursing jobs like these require the ability to multitask and think on your feet. In addition to dosing meds, emergency room nurses may help with medical treatment for everything from sore throats to kidney infections. Nurses may also assist with minor medical procedures as part of the treatment response, helping to stabilize a patient, and assist the doctor with everything from suturing wounds to intubating critical patients.<\/p>\n

Flight Nursing<\/h3>\n

When it comes to fast-paced nursing jobs, flight nursing is one career that many have never even heard about<\/a>. Flight nurses get to travel across the country, and even the world in some cases. Designated to help passengers with any immediate health issues they may have, flight nurses will be forced to think quickly at 10,000 feet in the air. Daily duties of a flight nurse can include cleaning the on-call rooms, cleaning out the office and refrigerator, washing the aircraft, and checking all expiration dates of all equipment\/medications. Training comes on-the-job, though some programs offer flight simulation training. As a flight nurse, you do basically everything you\u2019d do in an ER or ICU, but in a much smaller space and with fewer resources and personnel. This is a great way to not only explore the world but to provide stellar care for those who desperately need it in life-threatening situations.<\/p>\n

Urgent Care Nursing<\/h3>\n

While it\u2019s usually a little less stressful than an ER nurse, when it comes to fast-paced nursing jobs, urgent care might be the perfect fit<\/a>\u00a0for you. Urgent care is one of the fastest growing segments in health care, according to a report published in November 2015 by research firm\u00a0IbisWorld<\/a>. Almost 90% percent of urgent care centers\u2014a.k.a. \u201cwalk-in clinics\u201d\u2014expected patient visits to increase and had plans for expansion in the coming year,\u00a0according to Becker\u2019s Hospital Review<\/a>. Urgent care gives you the chance to help diagnose and fix a variety of injuries and ailments. Get experience in a fast-paced setting today.<\/p>\n
