Nursing

Nursing is a very interesting career.  I'm kinda interested in Neo-Naddle nursing, because I like to care for babies.  I believe that with my help I can make a difference in there lives.

I have been brought up around this career most of my life. My mom is a nurse for our local health department.  Each day she gets up ready to go to work.  She is always happy no matter what happens at work.  She said this is the best way of meeting new people.  She believes no matter what there will always be a need for nurses.  There will always be sick people in this world.  The longer were here, the more there will be.

There are two levels of nursing practice: professional and technical.  Professional nurses would have a baccalaureate degree or higher.  The technical nurse would have an associate degree.  Technical nurses would work under the supervision of the professional nurse.

Associate degree programs were introduced in the United States in 1952.  They were offered at community colleges, but a member can be found in four-year institution.  The two programs strongly emphasized technical skills supported by basic foundation sciences.  The graduate of an associate degree must also take the state licensing examination and can practice nursing using the initials RN.  Baccalaureate programs takes four years to complete and provide a strong base of liberal education.

Masters and doctoral degrees usually require the graduate to be from an accredited baccalaureate-nursing program.
