Most nurses work in hospitals, and there are hospitals all around the world as well. This means that if you become a nurse, you most likely will be able to find a job anywhere you want to live.

One of the nursing degrees that College America offers is the nursing associate degree. This program will only take 20 short months to complete.And when you have completed the program, you will have an ADN, or an Associate Degree of Nursing. This program is offered only at the Denver location. There are several different types of careers that you can acquire after you have received your ADN. One of the most common careers is that of a Health Specialties Nurse.

People who hold ADNs also often become Respiratory Therapists or Respiratory Therapist Technicians. If you are currently struggling with the decision as to whether or not you want to go to college, think about the many opportunities that will be opened to you with a degree.

The rigors of schoolwork and academic life are often strenuous; here are some tips on how to weather them. One of the most important things you can do as a nursing student is to plan.

Sit down and calculate exactly how much tuition is going to cost. If you are trying to create a very clear financial picture for the entire first year of college, you will want to factor in the costs of food, housing, and books as well.

If you write down your important assignments and test dates, there is a smaller chance that you will postpone, procrastinate, or forget about these dates. Forgetting about the due date of a major assignment can be detrimental to your grade; this is why writing due dates down at the beginning of the semester is so important.

Another way to be a great nursing student is to take great notes. Sometimes it can be difficult to pay rapt attention in lecture. Sometimes you are tired or hungry or your teacher is just boring. Although you could probably come up with dozens of excuses not to pay attention, you should still try your hardest to pay attention.

People who graduate with this degree have a wide variety of doors opened to them career-wise once they graduate. They often become Acute Care Nurses, Advanced Practice Psychiatric Nurses, Clinical Nurse Specialists, or Critical Care Nurses.

If any of these professions seem of interest to you, than earning this degree could be exactly what you need to move forward into the career you desire. Changing careers may seem daunting, but if you are not happy in your current career, switching careers could be exactly what you need.

If you organize your notes in this way, you will be able to find things more easily when you go back to look at your notes later. If you want to become a top nursing student and graduate at the top of your class, follow these tips and then see the results.
