Health Tips
Does a young person in your family want to become a nurse? Mostly aspiring nurses are young women, but sometimes young men also enter the profession. / Today’s Health, the magazine of the American Medical Association, advises counselors, parents and prospective ncfrsing school students of four approaches to entering the nursing profession— A four-year college or university program leading to a baccalaureate degree. A three-year diploma orhos pital program leading to a dip loma. A two-year community or junior, college program leading to an associate in arts degree. A 12-to-18-month program for practical nursing. The baccalaureate and diploma school graduates are eligible to take examinations for licensure as an R.N. (registered nurse). The two-year junior college graduate is eligible to take examinations to become an R.N. in many states. The practical nurse graduate is eligible to take examinations for licensure as a licensed practical nurse (L.P.N.). Since licensure laws vary from state to state, the State Board of'Nurse Examiners should be contacted in each state for full information on the requirements for taking an examination. In all cases, the schools must offer a program in which both theory and planned clinical practice with patients in hospital settings, public health agencies, and other institutions are provided for the students. These schools must meet the requirements of the State Board of Nurse Examiners.
The requirements include standards for theory, practice, faculty, preparation and other criteria related to the nursing profession. It is important that the school be approved by the National League for Nursing, the official accrediting agency for schools of nursing. _
