Nursing specialties
It must be said that the nursing profession is divided into many different specialties. Nursing specialties include: general nursing, geriatric nursing, and midwifery nursing. Let's explore the details of each specialty with Viet My College.
General Nursing

General nursing encompasses 12 different specialties as follows:
- Psychiatric nursing
- Intensive Care Nursing
- Neurosurgical nursing
- Ear, nose, and throat nursing
- Cardiovascular and respiratory nursing
- Endocrinology Nurse
- Dermatology Nurse
- Pediatric Nursing
- Internal Medicine Nursing
- Ophthalmology Nurse
- Dental nursing
- Plastic surgery nurse
Elderly care
This field has only one specialization: elderly care. However, the requirements for this specialization are quite demanding, so those intending to pursue this field need to cultivate patience and empathy towards the elderly.
Nursing and Midwifery
Similar to geriatric care, midwifery nursing has only one specialization: obstetric and gynecological nursing. Naturally, this specialization also has its own unique characteristics, requiring students to meet all the necessary requirements.
Which nursing specialization should I study to easily find a job?
In most medical fields, it's easy to find a job. However, this isn't the case for nursing. Because nursing doesn't require specialized knowledge, it tends to attract more students than other medical fields. For nursing students, choosing a specialization will make it easier to find employment. Some recommended specializations include:
Midwifery
This field typically employs personnel primarily in caring for expectant mothers and newborns. It also includes supporting tasks for mothers before and after childbirth.
- In Vietnam, it is estimated that there are approximately 1.5 million births annually. This is a very large number. However, the number of midwives and nurses is only around 200. This indicates a severe shortage in the midwifery and nursing profession. Therefore, studying this major will give you a much higher chance of finding employment.

- Furthermore, this profession also offers a relatively high income. By 2025, the Ministry of Health has decided to abolish the intermediate-level diploma for nursing programs. Therefore, you should pursue a university-level nursing degree now.
Aged care industry
The increasingly busy work schedules leave many people unable to care for their elderly grandparents or parents. Furthermore, the elderly are often prone to minor illnesses and various health problems, requiring specialized care. Therefore, studying geriatric care is a wise career choice.
Furthermore, this profession in our country is experiencing strong growth and a severe shortage of personnel. It is estimated that Japan, one of Asia's leading developed countries, is lacking up to 2.5 million nurses. Therefore, you don't need to worry about not finding a job after graduating with a degree in this field.

One advantage of this nursing profession is that the work is relatively easy and not strenuous. You just need to pay attention to the patients and assist them whenever needed to excel at your job.
