Hypothesize what would happen if the white deer were forced out of their area and had to live with regular deer.
STEM Career: Genetics Nurse
Genetics nurses specialize in genetics—the study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity. They care for patients who have genetic disorders or may be likely to develop them. These nurses assess risks through genetic screenings, evaluate the potential impact of the risks, and discuss how the disorder could impact the patients and their families. They also educate patients and may conduct research in genetics.
Tools of the Trade
Genomic-based intervention tools, evidence-based assessment techniques
Education Required
A bachelor’s degree in nursing; licensing as a registered nurse and advanced certification; and advanced nursing degrees are often recommended.
