#045 – On this Midweek Episode Jankel and I begin the first career deep dive by focusing on Registered Nursing. We uncover important information that will give high school students a well-informed idea of all that entails earning a Bachelor’s degree in Nursing, and working as a Registered Nurse (RN). In our conversation, we go over essential qualities that are necessary for a person interested in becoming an RN, the duties and responsibilities associated with this profession, the different patient groups with whom RNs may work, the educational path to follow to earn a BSN (Bachelor of Science in Nursing) degree. Additionally, we explore the components of the typical Nursing Program pre-requisites and explore those of the undergraduate nursing program at Loma Linda University. We also discuss the NCLEX (National Council Licensure Examination and other licensing requirements. The episode ends with a look at statistical data related to pay and employment prospects for registered nurses, and the five reasons why this profession is expected to grow at almost twice the percentage average of other professions. We hope this episode allows all high school students in our audience to gain an appreciation for this noble, stable, and much-needed occupation. We also hope it gives all parents in our audience important information they may use to have meaningful career-related conversations with their kids. These types of episodes will continue to be posted in the middle of the week, while our episodes related to college admissions will continue to appear on Fridays.
