Nursing and Healthcare Programs |
Nursing careers are expected to grow faster than average, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Nursing programs for licensed practical nurses (LPN), licensed vocational nurses (LPN), and registered nurses (RN) are available both on campus and online. Nurses provide a wide range of patient healthcare, most often in doctor's offices, hospitals, medical clinics, or assisted living facilities.
What You Can Learn in Nursing Programs
A diploma from an approved nursing program or an associate's degree can start you on a nursing career; bachelor's and master's degree are also available for higher levels of nursing responsibility. Nursing program coursework includes anatomy, physiology, microbiology, chemistry, and nutrition, followed by clinical experience.
