Nursing is one of the most in-demand jobs in the heath care industry.
  Due to increased demand for health care professionals, a career nursing is definitely a good choice.
 The job as a nurse always looks good because people are in constant need of health care.
There are several different types of nursing professions for you to focus on, including a registered nurse, nurse assistant, nurse practitioner and more.
  If nursing is something you may be interested in, there are a few requirements that need to be met before becoming a registered nurse.
Just like many professions, education plays a huge role as you pursue a career in nursing.
 To become a Registered Nurse (RN), it is recommended that you have a 3-4 year college degree in nursing.
 However, sometimes just an associate's degree will be enough for you to get started (depending on which nursing profession you want to focus on).
  Many colleges and universities offer nursing programs and internship opportunities.
  In order to get into a nursing program you must at least have a high school diploma and good grades in biology, science, and even math.
Once you receive your associate's degree in a related field you are ready to move on to the next step.
 To become a registered nurse, you must pass a required exam.
  This exam is the NCLEX or National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses.
  Preparatory classes are also available to anyone wanting to become a registered nurse.
In addition to a degree in nursing, it is required that you obtain 30 to 80 hours of clinical experience.
  Clinicals can be done in different areas based on your preference of where you may want to work.
  Some types of nurses include cardiac nurses, clinical research nurses, critical care nurses, ER nurses, home health nurses, neonatal nurses, midwife, operating room nurses, and more.
  The more experience you have the better.
If you love helping others and care about promoting health, becoming a nurse will be a good option for you.
