Many registered nurses find their niche in nursing by specialising in a particular field. As a new graduate you may not be pressed to choose a specialty right away, and in some country hospitals nurses don’t specialise – they have to be multiskilled to deal with whatever comes through the door.
Some nurses choose not to specialise, and work on general wards throughout their career. Specialising, however, will undoubtedly advance your career. If you specialise in an area you are interested in, you can not only gain extra skills and upgrade your qualification, but also have the potential to earn much higher wages. For example, clinical nurse consultants are not only skilled and highly regarded specialist nurses, but also earn over $75,000 per year.
Specialising can also give you the chance to refine your skills and work in an area you truly have a passion for. But now the question is: what specialty? From Aboriginal health to wound care and everything in between, nurses are spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing a specialty.
