Nursing
Nursing is a great career choice not only because it is extremely rewarding, but also because it’s an area with many job opportunities. Nurses are needed in hospitals, doctors’ offices, and other health care facilities. Certified Nursing Assistants and Licensed Practical Nurses often work under the direction of a Registered Nurse and perform tasks like bathing and feeding patients. RNs, on the other hand, are able to do things like giving IV fluids and dispensing medication. Different nursing occupations require different levels of education. Virtually all nursing careers require either a license or certification.
- CNAs are not required to have education but training programs will increase your job prospects.
- LPNs are required to go through a 1 to 2 year training program.
- RNs can get an entry level position with an associate’s degree, but it is in their best interest to further their education through a bachelor’s of nursing degree (BSN).
