Education required for the registered nurse:
To become a registered nurse, there are three possible educational paths which may be followed. These are bachelor’s degree, an associate degree, and a diploma from an approved nursing program. The most common educational path is to obtain an associate degree or a bachelor’s degree. No matter which path is followed, all must successfully pass a national licensing examination, known as the NCLEX-RN in order to gain a nursing license and be a registered nurse.
The bachelor of science degree in nursing (BSN) is offered by colleges and universities across the United States, and take about 4 years to complete. Associate degree in nursing (ADN) are offered by community and junior colleges and take about 2 to 3 years to complete. Diploma programs, administered in hospitals, last about 3 years.
Many RNs who obtained a diploma or ADN end up going back to school to obtain a BSN, simply because having the BSN allows for further advancement and a broader scope of nursing practice. Many RNs will start out their nursing career with a ADN or diploma and take advantage of tuition reimbursement programs in order to gain the BSN.
Advanced practice nursing specialties—clinical nurse specialists, nurse anesthetists, nurse-midwives, and nurse practitioners require a Master’s Degree.
But the most important quality that a nurse should have is a concern and compassion for those who are in need. A nurse also needs emotional stability to cope with human suffering, emergencies, and other stresses.
For more information about education required for the registered nurse in the United States go to Occupational Outlook Handbook provided by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Job outlook for the registered nurse:
Employment opportunities for nurses vary based on geographical setting, but overall opportunities are considered excellent. Employment during the time frame of 2006 to 2016 is expected to grow faster for registered nurses compared to other occupations. Employment of registered nurses is expected to grow 23 percent. It should be noted that during this time frame, 587,000 new registered nurse jobs are expected, which is higher then any other occupation.
Why such enormous growth in terms of employment opportunities for nursing? This is due primarily because of expected technological advancements in patient care which results in a greater number of conditions which can be treated, and an expected increase in the number older people in the United States, most of which will require some form of medical support.
A nurse shortage is expected which means your skill will be in great demand. All of these facts point to nursing as a highly desirable occupation.
