Each school with have their own specific criteria for acceptance, however, so make sure you research the requirements before applying.

You can choose between an associates degree, a bachelors degree, or a masters degree in nursing. Most students opt for the BA in nursing to obtain the best paying registered nurse jobs in the field. The BA is a four year degree that includes plenty of practical lessons and hands-on activities to ensure you know how to treat patients after graduation.

Types of Nursing Jobs

There are many types of registered nurse jobs to choose from after you obtain a degree in nursing. Many registered nurses work in hospitals, nursing homes, or in medical offices, but there are also plenty of other types of jobs available. You may choose to work as a home health care nurse, in a school, or even in a rural clinic as a care provider for residents. Becoming a nurse opens up the world of career opportunities to include hundreds of positions that can easily fit your personal preferences for a new career.

If you are looking for nursing jobs in your local area, one of the best places to begin looking is at your school. Often, nursing colleges will provide placement for students who graduate each year. Placement can provide you with the practical experience that you need to move into a different career later on, while still providing a standard salary and other job related benefits.
