How the ASN Prepares You For A Career

The ASN degree prepares you for an entry-level career as a Registered Nurse. Courses will equip students with the medical and patient care knowledge that they need to be able to pass the NCLEX exam for licensing nurses. Clinicals and labs bring real-world experience to the classroom so that students know how to work with technology and in a medical setting. 

Since the Florida Department of Emergency Management has signed a $379 million package to recruit more nurses, it is clear that there is a major need for nurses in Florida. Nurses over 60 are either retiring from the field or needing advanced healthcare themselves as well. That means that there is an opportunity for new RNs to enter the field and help meet the needs of patients. 

Nursing Fundamentals Training 

So, what are some of the courses that nursing students take as part of the program? The core nursing courses include some of the following:

• Pharmacology
• Nursing Fundamentals
• Psychiatric Nursing
• Medical – Surgical Nursing 
• Nursing Leadership
• Human Anatomy & Physiology
• and more!

Courses meet the standards of education needed to pass the NCLEX-RN exam. Florida requires nurses to be educated and trained in the field and licensed to work. The NCLEX-RN is the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses. 

Studying to become an RN, especially during a time when nurses are in high demand, is a solid endeavor. Entry-level nurses have career growth opportunities in the field. Having the basic knowledge and skills to get started is the first step.
