Congratulations on your decision to become a nurse! Despite the current downturn in the economy, the healthcare sector continues to add new jobs, including thousands of new opportunities for registered nurses (RNs). The sustained shortage of nurses has actually helped to bring some much needed changes to the profession, including higher salaries, better working conditions, and more flexible schedules in some settings.
The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) and other higher education authorities strongly recommend that new nurses enter the field with a four-year Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree (BSN).

Nurse executives, federal agencies, the military, leading nursing organizations, healthcare foundations, magnet hospitals, and minority nurse advocacy groups all recognize the unique value that baccalaureate-prepared nurses bring to health care.
