The demand for healthcare jobs is expected to grow significantly in the next decade. This is due to the aging population and the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The ACA has resulted in an increase in the number of people with health insurance. As a result, there is a greater need for healthcare services.

Registered nurses (RNs) provide direct patient care. They work closely with physicians and other members of the healthcare team to ensure that patients receive high-quality care. RNs can specialize in a particular area of medicine, such as pediatrics or geriatrics.
