Become a Registered Nurse
It all starts with a nursing school.
Before you can work as a nurse, you must receive proper training and become licensed by the state in which you will work. That means your journey begins at a college, university, training center, or community college.
After completing education and clinical requirements, students must pass a licensing exam such as the NCLEX-RN.
Becoming an RN opens the door to more nursing specialties, higher earning potential, and a foundation for long-term career growth. For some, it becomes the next step toward private practice, administration, education, or advanced roles in leadership.
