Careers in Nursing
Nursing is one of the largest healthcare professions. Nursing focues on the mind, body, and spirit of individuals, and how those individuals interact with their families and communities. Nurses can be found working almost anywhere in both in-patient and out-patient settings.
An advantage of earning a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Nursing is that it allows you to take on roles not available to nurse with associate degrees. Nurses with B.S. degrees are prepared for leadership positions in nursing administration. The B.S. degree also prepares you for graduate study as a nurse practitioner, clinical nurse specialist, nurse anesthetist or nurse educator.
