Have a Doctorate Degree in Nursing
Nursing education is not limited to months or just a year, the farthest you can go in studying nursing is to take a doctorate degree in a specific field of nursing. However, it is not very simple to get there, there are some steps of education that you need to undergo before reaching the final stage which is to have a PhD.
Nursing education can start as simple as getting a diploma program. If you are seeking for the know-how care giving task of a nurse, then try having an AND or an Associate Degree in Nursing; students more or less graduate in about two and a half years or less. It’s a quick program and it’s sure to give you a head start on what nursing is about.
If you’re planning to learn more and have a bachelor’s degree in nursing, then I suggest you finish a four-year term in BS-Nursing. Look for the school that is known for giving a high-standard nursing education so that when you graduate you have an edge with the companies and hospitals you want to work with. Most BS-Nursing programs also offers the nursing licensure exam to their graduating nursing students so when they pass they will be registered nurses; this will allow them to work in hospitals as doctor’s assistant.
If you want to be an expert in a certain field of nursing, you should then take a masters degree because this will surely be beneficial if you’re aiming for a higher rank in your workplace. The highest education you can attain is to get the doctorate degree; take this after you finish your masters’ degree if you want to go farther with your education and rank.
