when trying to become a nurse...?

when trying to become a nurse, do you take medical classes after you get your bacholers?

Thank you comment icon Sophia, I concur with the previous responses. I would need to know what you define medical classes as. Are you referring to real life experiences with a preceptor (person that you are assigned to that shows you the process and expectations..guides you through appropriate decision-making in real-life situations)? -Dr. Cole Dr. Wendy Cole Ph.D, MSN, RN

Hi Sophia, good question. To get a bachelors degree in nursing, you must the medical related classes first. A nursing program at a college will be able to tell you the specific classes you need to take.

Isabel’s Answer

It depends on what your goals and plans after your BSN are. If you intend to specialize in a particular area of nursing, and obtain a certificate, it would require additional classes in that area. If you wished to pursue a masters or doctorate in nursing, it would require more specialized classes pertaining to those degrees. You are required to do continuing education classes every year (or at least every other year) in order to maintain your nursing license, and each state has different requirements for how many hours, and what types of topics you should be learning and reviewing.

Good question, but difficult to offer a straight forward, or simple answer. If you have completed your requirements to sit for your boards, then, as a RN, no. But depending on your licensed state there will be CEUs(continuing education units), that are fulfilled fir license renewal. Many specialty areas also have specialized certifications that require classes to complete.
