Registered nursing (RN) requires a large base of knowledge used to assess, plan and intervene to promote health, prevent disease and help patients cope with illness. When providing direct patient care, nurses observe, assess and record symptoms, reactions and progress, which provides the basis for care planning and intervention. They are health educators and advocates for patients, families and communities.

You can earn a nursing diploma or associate degree in three years. Many junior and community colleges offer associate degree in nursing (ADN) programs. Search for schools that provide training for this career. Many new nurses begin their education in an ADN program and then enroll in Bachelor of Science in nursing (BSN) or master’s degree completion programs.
