How to Become a Nurse
As baby boomers age and the need for healthcare grows, hospitals around the country continue to face
a nursing shortage.
That means there’s never been a better time to become a nurse!
Before you embark on this lucrative and rewarding career, there are a few points you should consider.
This advice is meant to help you expedite the process of becoming a nurse and ease the transition as
you go from nurse-hopeful to actually assisting patients' bedside.
Get into the Mindset of Nursing
Make sure that nursing is the right career choice for you. As a nurse, you are under a lot of pressure to
care for your patients in a high-stress environment. That being said, there are few careers as rewarding
as nursing. If you commit to helping people, and enjoy interacting with others, you’ll have an easier time
managing the long hours and staying calm under pressure. Just be aware of all that goes into the job
before you commit to the schooling, licensure exam, and everything else that goes into qualifying as a
registered nurse.
Decide Your Educational Path
There are many educational paths to becoming a nurse. Because the demand for nursing is so great, a
number of nursing schools have emerged to educate and prepare a new generation of students for a
future in nursing.
You might choose an ADN program, which will help you secure an associate’s degree in nursing. Or
maybe you’re more geared toward the four-year BSN program, which will yield a bachelor’s degree in
nursing. If you already have an associate’s degree or a bachelor’s degree in another field, there are also
accelerated programs you can take to obtain your BSN in nursing in record time.
With more hospitals preferring to hire nurses with BSN degrees, it pays to put one of those programs
along your educational path. Do your research to find the educational path that best aligns with your
nursing career ambitions.
Then there is the master of science in nursing (MSN), which is a higher-level degree. The MSN can be
helpful if you hope to grow your career beyond patient care. Many master’s degree programs focus on
education, leadership, and the business side of the medical field.
