In Philadelphia, there are more than 15 hospitals and universities for the nursing profession, so it is obvious that nursing jobs are very important. It is also clear that the nursing shortage the city is facing is a cause for major concern, so hospitals and schools are working together to increase opportunities for those interested in nursing. More scholarships are being given for further nursing education, and hospitals are taking great measures to recruit and retain qualified nursing staff in all areas. Hospitals in Philadelphia include Pennsylvania Hospital, Children.s Hospital of Philadelphia, and Temple University Hospital.
Forensic nurses treat the victims of violence, crimes, abuse and trauma, while also aiding detectives in the scientific investigation that helps catch perpetrators. Even if they perform little to no direct patient care, forensic nurses must keep their RN license active. Certificates in Forensic Nursing are offered by such organizations as the University of California and American Forensic Nurses (AMRN), and forensic nurses can receive further certifications from the Forensic Nursing Certification Board (FNCB) as a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner Adult/Adolescent (SANE-A) or Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner Pediatric (SANE-P). The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts excellent, overall job growth for registered nurses.
