Nursing

                                                                   


Are you motivated to find a career that will allow you to make a greater contribution to society? Do you want a profession that provides for continued growth and opportunity for change? Do you find health topics fascinating and have compassion for individuals attempting to overcome injury or illness? If you answered "yes" to all of these questions, then nursing may be for you. Nursing opens many professional paths for students. Advancement is endless. Nurses frequently function as bedside nurses in hospital settings but are also employed by physicians, attorneys, insurance companies, private industry, school districts, public health departments, fire departments, and ambulatory surgical centers. The associate level Nurse may also advance to the B.S.N. education level which in turn opens the door to graduate studies in clinical practice (Nurse Practitioner), research, and supervision and management studies.
