15 Highest Paying Nursing Careers
Once student nurses finish nursing school, choosing the right nursing career becomes their primary concern. In the modern world, there are a number of nursing specialities. And with so many specialties, most nurses are having the dilemma to just pick one, following the need to qualify and pass series of exams. Apart from those, the salary might also be one of the contributing factors that may help you in choosing the nursing sub-specialization you may want to pursue. Nursing careers are financially and personally rewarding, but the salary greatly differs from one and the other. If compensation and job security are at the top of your list of deciding factors, this list may help you narrow the field of options for you. We’ve come up with the list of the top 15 highest paying nursing jobs and careers based on their average annual salaries. The salaries listed in this article are based from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), though some are also drawn from other sources. 1. Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) Description: A nurse anesthetist is an advanced practice nurse specialist who is part of the surgery team working with, or in place of, anesthesiologists, delivering anesthesia during surgical operations.

They also need certification from the National Board on Certification and Recertification of Nurse Anesthetists (NBCRNA). If you are already a lice Continue reading >>
Nursing In The United Kingdom
Nursing in the United Kingdom has a long history. The current form of nursing is often considered as beginning with Florence Nightingale who pioneered 'modern nursing'. Florence Nightingale initiated formal schools of nursing in the United Kingdom in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The role and perception of nursing has dramatically changed from that of 'handmaiden' to the doctor to professionals in their own right. There are over 300,000 nurses in the United Kingdom and they work in a variety of settings; hospitals, health centres, nursing homes, hospices, communities, academia etc. with most nurses working for the National Health Service (NHS). Nurses work across all demographics and requirements of the public; Adults, Children, mental health and Learning Disability . Nurses work in a range of specialties from the broad areas of medicine, surgery, theatres, investigative sciences such as imaging, neo-natal etc. Nurses also work in a large areas of sub-specialities such as respiratory, diabetes, neurology, infectious diseases, liver, research, cardiac etc. Nurses often work in multi-disciplinary teams but increasingly are found working independently. To practise, all nurses in the United Kingdom must be registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). History[edit] Main article: History of Nursing in the United Kingdom Florence Nightingale[edit] Main article: Florence Nightingale Florence Nightingale Florence Nightingale is regarded as the founder of the modern nursing profession.[1] There was no real hospital training school for nurses until one was established in Kaiserwerth, Germany, in 1846. There, Nightingale received the training that later enabled her to establish, at St Thomas' Hospital in London, the first school designed primarily to train nur Continue reading >>
Qatar Needs Diabetes Educators
Manama: Qatar's Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) is keen on increasing the number of diabetes educators by offering a diabetes education diploma to qualified practitioners in the country, an official said. "Education is the cornerstone in the risk management of diabetes," Manal Musallam, HMC Senior Diabetes Educator, said. "We need more diabetes educators in the country to implement the new trend in diabetes education called ‘behaviour change'," Musallam said, quoted by Qatar Tribune on Tuesday. HMC would partner with an institution from either the US or Canada for the plan. Only five certified Qatar has six full-time diabetes educators, with only five certified in the field. According to Musallam, the ideal is to have two diabetes educators in each of the 19 health centres across the country. She said that a workshop for diabetes educators to be held on November 19 was an initial step in realising the goal of having more diabetes educators. Planning a healthy meal "About 40 participants from HMC, primary health care centres, Qatar Diabetes Association and Qatar Petroleum will take part in the workshop. The discussions will cover the role of diabetes educators, the importance of and guidelines for diabetes education, and planning a healthy meal," she said. Zohair Al Arabi, a HMC dietician, said that healthy choices of meals to prevent diabetes were important and warned the public, especially the younger population, against fast food meals and soda. People should eat three meals in a day, drink a lot of water (at least one glass every two hours), eat more leafy vegetables and fruits and engage in regular exercise, he said. Continue reading >>
Revealed: The Eye-watering Average Wage Your Local Gp Is Earning
New figures from NHS Digital show that pay for the majority of GPs in the UK rose to £101,500 in 2014/15 from £99,800 in 2013/14, a 1.7 per cent increase. Among dentists in England and Wales, there was a drop in pay, continuing a trend that began a decade ago. Their average taxable income - after expenses - was £70,500, a 1.6 per cent fall on the £71,700 in 2013/14. The report looked at two contracts - GMS - General Medical Services contracts between general practices and NHS for delivering primary care, and PMS contracts, Personal Medical Services which are locally agreed contracts between NHS England and a GP practice. The figures show partners’ average income across GMS and PMS contracts is £103,800 in England but £90,000 in Wales. In Northern Ireland, the figure is £98,500 and £91,400. There are also regional variations, with partners in the south east having the highest income in England - at an average of £108,600 before tax in 2014/2015. In comparison, partners in the south west of England were paid an average of 22 per cent lower - £84,500. The British Dental Association (BDA) said its own analysis showed that income for dentists in England and Wales has fallen by 35 per cent in real terms over the last decade. It argues that rising NHS charges for patients, brought in by the Government, are designed to make up for the falling amounts of overall funding from ministers. Henrik Overgaard-Nielsen, the BDA's chairman of general dental practice, said: "This 35 per cent fall in NHS dentists' real incomes over the last decade is without parallel in the public sector. "Governments across the UK are squeezing NHS dentistry until the pips squeak. “Every penny of investment this service receives comes from dentists' own pockets, and this collapse in real inco Continue reading >>
The Myth Of Engineering Low Pay
Senior reporter Engineering graduates dominate the top ten list of highest-paid degree holders. But that’s not the whole story. I try to maintain a degree of scepticism whenever I’m told engineering graduates are high earners. Firstly because so many engineers will tell you that they’re underpaid. And secondly because the figures used to claim salaries are high are usually broken down by the subject studied at university not the actual job being done. Figures released this week by the Times Good University Guide fall into this category. They show that six of the top ten highest earning subjects based on starting salaries are engineering disciplines. Chemical engineering graduates earning on average more than anyone except dentists, with a mean starting salary of £29,582. This was followed by general engineering, mechanical, aeronautical and manufacturing, electrical and electronic, with civil coming bottom of the pile (but still better off than almost all non-engineering subjects). We know that only around 70 per cent of those who study engineering go on to work for a company whose primary activity is engineering (according to the Higher Education Statistics Authority). That could mean that many graduates go into higher earning sectors but also that others work for engineering firms in non-engineering roles such as business, management or even sales. And mean figures like those in the Times guide can be skewed by a small number of very high earners. But, also released this week was another figures that counter this argument. The annual What do graduates do? report from the Higher Education Careers Service Unit (HESCU) found that average salaries for engineering graduates tend to be above those for other subjects because of the larger proportion of graduates worki Continue reading >>

What Do Nurses Earn?
Registered Nurses (RN) in Australia earn an average salary of $65,000 per year. Nurse wages vary based on location, qualifications, experience and seniority. A range of resources are provided below to assist in determining the pay for nurses and midwives in Australia. The HealthTimes Wage Checker App below is an interactive app that allows nurses and midwives to check wages based on location, role, grade and experience. The wage checker app is currently only applicable to public sector nurses and midwives. Looking for quality online CPD courses for nurses and midwives? Visit HealthTimes Online CPD The wage checker app and the charts and tables below do not take into consideration factors such as working conditions, nurse to patient ratios, over-time allowances, salary packaging provisions, agency rates nor any other allowances. It is therefore important that nurses and midwives check with their Human Resources contact or relevant Australian Nursing & Midwifery Federation body for more specific information.

Ethnic Disparities In Diabetes Management And Pay-for-performance In The Uk: The Wandsworth Prospective Diabetes Study
Go to: Editors' Summary Background. When used in health care, the term “pay-for-performance” means rewarding health-care providers by paying them more if they succeed in meeting performance targets set by the government and other commissioners of health care. It is an approach to health service management that is becoming common, particularly in the US and the UK. For example, the UK's general practitioners (family doctors) agreed with the government in 2004 that they would receive increases to their income that would depend on how well they were judged to be performing according to 146 quality indicators that cover clinical care for ten chronic diseases, as well as “organization of care,” and “patient experience.” One of the chronic diseases is diabetes, a condition that has reached epidemic proportions in the UK, as it has also in many other countries. Ethnic minorities often suffer more from health problems than the majority population of the country they live in. They are also likely to be served less well by the health services. Diabetes is a case in point; in many countries—including the US and UK—the condition is much more common in minority groups. In addition, their diabetes is usually less well “managed”—i.e., it becomes more severe more rapidly and there are more complications. In the UK, the government recognizes the need to ensure that its health policies are applied to all sectors of the population, including minority ethnic communities. Nevertheless, the advances that have been made in the management of diabetes have not benefited the UK's ethnic minorities to the same extent as they have the majority population. It is hoped that the use of pay-for-performance management by the UK National Health Service will lead to more efficient d Continue reading >>

Guidance For Becoming A Diabetes Educator/cde
How do I become a diabetes educator? One must be a healthcare professional who has a defined role as a diabetes educator, not for those who may perform some diabetes related functions as part of or in the course of other usual and customary duties. Practice as a diabetes educator means actively employed for compensation, providing a direct or indirect professional contribution to the care and self-management education of people with diabetes. Diabetes education, also referred to as diabetes self-management education or diabetes self-management training, is performed by health care professionals who have appropriate credentials and experience consistent with the particular profession's scope of practice. Diabetes self-management education is defined as the interactive, collaborative, ongoing process involving the person with diabetes or pre-diabetes and/or the caregivers and the educator(s). The process includes: Assessment of the individual's specific education needs Identification of the individual's specific diabetes self-management goals Education and behavioral intervention directed toward helping the individual achieve identified self-management goals Evaluation(s) of the individual's attainment of identified self-management goals Proper documentation of all education encounters Diabetes educators can be found in a variety of settings: hospitals, physician offices, clinics, home health, wellness programs, to name a few. They most often work within accredited or recognized diabetes education programs. This means that the diabetes education program has met requirements set forth by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and can bill for diabetes self-management training through two different codes: G0108 and G0109, which are for individual and group diabetes ed Continue reading >>
Endocrinology And Diabetes
Endocrinologists and diabetologists (ED) are medical doctors who investigate, diagnose and treat disorders of the endocrine system. This page provides useful information on the nature of the work, the common procedures/interventions, sub-specialties and other roles that may interest you. Nature of the work The main glands of the endocrine system are the adrenal glands, ovaries and testicles, pancreas, pituitary gland, parathyroid glands and thyroid gland. These glands secrete hormones (chemical messengers) into the circulation which have an effect on specific organs of the body. Endocrinology and diabetes is predominantly an outpatient specialty but a number of patients require hospital admission for complex investigations or the management of complications. Furthermore, at least 15% of hospital inpatients have diabetes mellitus or other endocrine conditions. Increasingly, hospital-based specialists manage diabetes patients jointly with colleagues in primary care and training has been adjusted to reflect this. Patients usually have chronic conditions and management is holistic and long term often in a multidisciplinary team fashion. Endocrinologists and diabetologists treat conditions such as: diabetes mellitus thyroid disease endocrine disorders of the reproductive system, such as polycystic ovary syndrome adrenal disease bone and calcium disorders pituitary disease endocrine late effects of cancer treatment Common procedures/interventions These include: programmed investigations for complex endocrine disorders pre and post-operative management of endocrine patients and patients with diabetes management of diabetic and endocrine emergencies such as ketoacidosis and hypercalcaemia management of diabetes and endocrine conditions during pregnancy multidisciplinary working Continue reading >>

Getting An Insulin Pump
Tweet There is a high level of demand for insulin pumps but currently the UK lags behind other European countries in its provision of insulin pumps. Insulin pumps allow greater opportunity to take control of diabetes but, because they are a more expensive option than injections, eligibility criteria exists to ensure the most suitable candidates have access to insulin pump therapy. Funding options There are two main options for getting an insulin pump: Self funding –whereby you buy the pump and consumables NHS funded –the pump is paid for by the NHS for those meeting eligibility criteria The most common option for getting an insulin pump in the UK is to have one funded by the NHS. Getting an insulin pump privately If you buy the pump privately, you will need to consider the total cost, including the consumables, and ensure you have a health team with a specialism in insulin pumps. You will need to arrange whether you will be able to receive care on the NHS or privately before going ahead with buying an insulin pump privately. Insulin pumps tend to cost between £2,000 and £3,000 and the consumables for an insulin pump, including infusion sets, reservoirs and batteries, can cost around £1,000 to £2,000 a year. The NHS does not operate a scheme in which it funds pumps which have been bought privately. Getting a pump on the NHS The process of getting an insulin pump can vary across different parts of the UK as budgets, the level of demand for pumps and the number of healthcare professionals with experience of insulin pumps can all play a part. The advantage of applying for an insulin pump through the NHS is that you have the chance of getting the pump for free. This for most people outweighs the disadvantages of not knowing whether or when they may qualify for a pump Continue reading >>
