Pulmonary Nursingby HOWARD GERBER on DECEMBER 1, 2011

Pulmonary nursing, also known as respiratory nursing, is one of the many specialties available to nurses. Choosing a specialty is

a great choice for those who really love a specific field. It can also be a good way to find higher paying positions.

Job Expectations

A pulmonary nursing specialist will work with individuals undergoing pulmonary care. Patients with any sort of problem with the

respiratory system or lungs may enter into their care. Diseases that affect these areas of the body include asthma, tuberculosis,

cystic fibrosis, emphysema, and pneumonia.

Experience and Education

The only way to become a pulmonary care nurse is to first be a registered nurse. For those still in nursing school, focus on the

classes that center around respiratory care. Once degree work has been completed students will need to pass the NCLEX-RN.

Look for positions that offer experience in the respiratory field to help move into the field permanently.

Outlook

In the next decade the need for registered nurses is projected to increase. As the population ages, the need for pulmonary care

specialists will grow as well making this an excellent specialty to consider.

Environments

There a number of areas a nurse specializing in pulmonary care can work such as doctor’s offices, hospitals, rehabilitation

centers, and nursing homes. Allergy and asthma specialists have a special need for pulmonary nurses to help as they diagnose and

treat their patients. Nursing homes are filled with patients who have difficulty breathing for a variety of reasons and nurses in thisfield must be well versed in respiratory treatments. There are also positions overseeing transplants and clinical trials.

Associations and Social Media

The primary association for pulmonary nurses within the United States is the Respiratory Nursing Society. They offer a wide

range of professional development opportunities and a chance for colleagues to network. The counterpart in the United Kingdom

is the Association of Respiratory Nurse Specialists who provides continuing education opportunities, host conferences, and make

networking within the profession easier.
