Introduction
Get the comprehensive knowledge, skills, and practical experience needed to begin working in this critical healthcare field. By completing this program you will be well prepared to take the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN®) and become eligible to work as a registered nurse.
Nursing offers some of the most challenging and rewarding work of any profession. Successful nurses must have a strong combination of critical-thinking, communication and organizational skills in order to effectively assess and communicate with patients. They also need to be compassionate and emotionally stable to cope with human suffering, and have physical stamina to do such things as move patients and be on their feet for long periods. As the population ages and medical care becomes more sophisticated, the number of jobs in nursing-related professions is exploding, making for high-pay and lots of career opportunities.
