Career Exploration

Dear Friend,

I am a student at Ivy Tech State College in Indianapolis, Indiana. I am currently enrolled in the R.N. program with my sights set on becoming an R.N. I've already taken all of the pre-requisite classes and am waiting to be accepted into the actual nursing program. There are questions from a career exploration that I need to have answered by someone affiliated with nursing and I would really appreciate it if someone from your organization could answer them for me. Thank you in advance.

1. What type of training is most desired in a new employee?

2. Briefly describe the typical duty day:

3. What is the entry and average wage?

4. What are the advancement opportunities?

5. What general benefits do you offer?

6. How many openings do you anticipate within the next two years?

7. What are the positive and negative aspects of this occupation?

Again, thank you.
