Professional Plan to be a Nurse

These nurses quickly recognize life-threatening problems and are trained to help solve them on the spot. (Exploring Health Careers. 2013).

Along with being specialized in many different areas of medicine, one would also need, according to Explore Health Careers website, an “Emergency nursing certification from the Board of Certification for Emergency Nursing (BCEN), a division of the Emergency Nurses’ Association” (2010). Continuing education is important in any nursing practice because of how fast the field of medicine is always advancing. According to Salary.Com,...
