What do nurses do on a daily basis?

Nurses are found at every stage of the patient experience, from birth to end of life.

As a nurse, you use your health knowledge, critical thinking and judgment to meet your patients’ biological, physical and behavioral needs.

You may assess patients, perform exams, take health histories, provide health education, administer medication, advocate for public health and much more.

Where can you work as a nurse?

Your Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree is the foundation for your nursing career.

You can work in a variety of nursing roles once you graduate. Your job options go beyond the traditional hospital.

  • Acute care (hospital or clinics)
  • Community organizations
  • Travel nurses
  • Military nurses
  • School nurses
  • Correctional facilities

Steps to become a nurse

To become a registered nurse, you must take the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN) after you graduate.

Student cohort groups who graduated in May 2024 and December 2024, both achieved first-time pass rates of 96% on the NCLEX-RN examination. 

How much do nurses make?

With your BSN degree, you can earn a higher salary and have more options for your nursing career.  Your salary may differ depending on where you live and work.
