With 104 specialties and a number of advanced nursing degrees, itâs easy to see why most nurses change jobs throughout their careers. As a nurse, you can move laterally, to another specialty, or build on your education, and move up.
Have you ever wondered how much of your body is water? The percentage of water varies according to your age and gender. Here's a look at how much water is inside you. The amount of water in the human body ranges from 50-75%. The average adult human body is 50-65% water, averaging around 57-60%. The percentage of water in infants is much higher, typically around 75-78% water, dropping to 65% by one year of age.
As people get older, they tend to have a lower percentage of body water. For example, a baby has about 75 percent body water, which drops to about 65 percent by 1 year of age. While adult women have about 55 percent body water, elderly people typically have only about 50 percent body water. This is partially because as people age, they lose muscle mass.
