The thought of fast-paced movement, interaction with people and the ability to help people is what makes nursing an interesting career. Nurses have many responsibilities in the hospital. They provide care and put patients at ease. Becoming a nurse comes with many responsibilities. The career also needs someone who has good interpersonal skills but is also assertive. To become a registered nurse a person can earn an Associate of Science in Nursing, which is 2 years of school, or an individual can earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, which is 4 years of school (Discover Nursing). An individual can choose whether they want a college or graduate degree, but it is better to have more education to be able to get a job. The more education an individual has could mean higher earnings (Career Cruising). According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, some of the classes you will need to take in college are anatomy, chemistry, nutrition, psychology, and nursing theory. Nursing is one of the fastest growing occupations in the United States and is expected to increase 26% between the years 2010 and 2020 (Nursing School Programs). There are three different types of nurses; a licensed practical nurse, a licensed practical nurse, and a registered nurse. The type of nurse a person might want to become may depend on the career they are working towards. In many jobs you can work your way up in the company and nursing is one of them.
