Why Choose Nursing?
Nursing is one of the most trusted and respected professions today – and the industry is experiencing a shortage of qualified healthcare professionals. It’s a fulfilling career that, if you ask most nurses, will tell you it’s more of a calling than a job.
Also, the projected job growth for the field is 9% to 36% – nurses are needed now more than ever.
