Career development
No matter the job, it’s a continuous process to grow and develop in your field. For nurses, this can mean everything from continuing education to attending nursing conferences.
Check out these (virtual) nursing conferences to attend in 2022 to learn and network with other healthcare professionals.
No matter the career field you pursue, it’s crucial to come up with your own professional development goals.
Learn how to show off your nursing credentials in the proper way next time you apply for a job or professional opportunity.
A primary way to retain nurses is through professional development and specifically finding a nurse mentor.
Professional nursing organizations provide nurses with a chance to advance their careers, network with others within the field and learn best practices.
Goal-setting doesn’t end once you land your dream job as a nurse. Crafting attainable goals throughout your career creates a powerful incentive to get out of bed in the morning.
When not used appropriately and responsibly, social media is a liability to both nurses and their employers.
Having the proper certifications can also help you earn a job, advance your career and take on leadership roles.
The nursing scope of practice is a guidepost for professional nursing activities and best practices.
Many nurses begin as Registered Nurses (RNs) and then become Nurse Practitioners (NPs).
Though there are some overlaps, these two positions are different.
Through the RN to DNP program, the registered nurse can leapfrog the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) and Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) degrees.
Not every RN has a relevant degree, so they need to have options. The RN to MSN bridge program offers a practical solution.
