In the United States there are many areas of nursing practice for professional nurses. Four broad categories might be listed as Direct Patient Care, Community Nursing Practice, Education and Research. Administration is another broad area but many times it is the forgotten area of nursing. It is a very important role that requires special skills, education and training.
Depending on license and education level, direct care could include inpatient practice in a hospital or as an advanced practice nurse (nurse practitioner, midwife or nurse anesthetist). Community nursing practice could include Public Health Nursing and Home Health Nursing. Education could include teaching student nurses or patients and their families. Research could take place in a laboratory or in a clinical setting like the hospital to test the best ways to care for patient/clients.
Nursing has grown into a professional role in recent times and it provides a very attractive well-paying career for both men and women. Even though about 94% of nurses are women, more men are discovering the excellent opportunities in today's diverse nursing practice.

How is nursing a part of healthcare but not a part of medical practice?
Often, Nursing is considered as a part of healthcare but not a part of medical practice because Nursing involves a nurse assisting the patient whereas Medical practice usually involves a physician assisting the patient.
