RECRUITMENT INTO NURSING

Me? A Nurse?

Are you thinking about becoming a registered nurse? Being a nurse is a highly rewarding career. As a professional health care provider, you will be responsible for assessing and caring for patients based on your classroom work and hands-on clinical studies. There are multiple areas for nurses to work in, from labor and delivery to flight nursing to emergency room care.

People considering nursing as a career should have good math and science skills. You must be able to read at a tenth grade level - there is a lot of reading in nursing school. You will also be writing papers so you should be comfortable with using proper grammar and punctuation. Most important, you need to be a person who wants to work with people to help them live healthy, productive lives.
