J.’s Answer

Nursing is the protection, promotion, and optimization of health and abilities; prevention of illness and injury; facilitation of healing; alleviation of suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of human response; and advocacy in the care of individuals, families, groups, communities, and populations. If you read this definition and it sounds like Something you want to do, them the benefits are endless. If you think about this definition of nursing and it sounds like it doesn’t suit your interests or lifestyle, then it might not benefit you as much as choosing a field that resonates with you more. Someone wise once said “if you do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.” Nursing is this (https://www.nursingworld.org/practice-policy/workforce/what-is-nursing/) but also so much more.

Estelle’s Answer

RN you can do either:
2 year Associates Degree in Nursing (ADN)
or
4 years for your Baccelor of Science in Nursing (BSN)
Either Degree you will have to take the NCLEX-RN exam (you take this exam after you graduate)
So what's the difference?
Some people get their ADN 1st then enter the work force earlier.
Also some companies offer tuition assistance to help pay for your BSN if you want to continue your education.
BSN opens more doors for you. The BSN often times can advance into management jobs, leadership positions, specialties and research.

Caitanya’s Answer

Hi Jessica. This is a great question. There are many benefits to becoming a registered nurse. Firstly, you will have numerous options and choices to try different things: inpatient, outpatient, education, administrative--almost anything you want. Next, depending on the type of nursing you decide, a full-time week may consist of three days or five days or anything else in between. Another benefit is that you will have very good job security. Obviously, there is no full-proof guarantee of anything, but more than likely anywhere you go in the world, nurses will be needed.
