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.
Babies have the largest percentage at 78% at birth. Once they have reached a year old the amount reduces to 65%. In male adults, the water percentage is about 60% although lean tissues have more water compared to fat tissues. Adult women have more fat making up their body than men. Therefore, they have bodies made of about 55% water.
