Nursing School: Choose The Right One For You
 |
| Nursing School in Australia |
A career choice in nursing is becoming increasingly popular
today… with good reason, too! It is a rewarding profession – with salaries generally
starting in the $40,000s for newly graduated nursing students who have a degree
in registered nursing. This high demand has also caused a massive shortage in
nurses across the globe, and if you do a quick online search for the term
"nursing shortage" you will be able to see many links to news items
and articles discussing this crisis.
This demand for nurses has encouraged many people to pursue a
career in nursing. So let’s look at which nursing school you should go to…and
more specifically, how do you find one that's accessible to you?

The best place to look for this information is your State
Board of Nursing website, where you can find a list of approved nursing schools
in the state. You can usually find them by searching for a link for
"resources" which will take you to a page with various links,
including a link for "education." Many state boards of nursing have a
link on their home page that goes directly to "education".
Please ensure that the nursing school that you pick is
approved by your State Board of Nursing. In case the school you attend is not
approved, then at the time of your graduation, you may not only find that you
haven't learned enough in order to be a competent registered nurse. You may
also not be qualified to sit for the NCLEX-RN or NCLEX-LPN – which are the
tests that you need to take to get your license as a Registered Nurse or
Licensed Practical Nurse.
Please also make sure you check whether your nursing school
is nationally accredited- otherwise, once you attend, you may not be able to
transfer your credits to other colleges or use your Associate's Degree in
Nursing to pursue a higher degree, such as a Bachelor's Degree in Nursing.
