Beating Burnout as a Travel Nurse
Recent survey results show that a quarter to half of nurses feel emotionally drained, used up, fatigued, and burned out several times a week, or even every day (NCSBN 2023). Nearly a fifth of the current nursing workforce has stated their intent to leave the profession by 2027, with a significant portion of those statements coming from nurses under 40. With an aging population and an ongoing need for healthcare services, America can’t afford to lose this much of its vital nursing workforce.
Careers in Nursing & Nurse Leadership
Modern nursing careers are as varied as the people they serve, and each nursing role has its own educational, certification, and licensure requirements. While this complexity is a sign of a maturing profession, it can also be confusing, even to veteran nurses; a growing number of specializations and sub-specializations can complicate the process further.
Whether you’re beginning your nursing career, curious about specialization options, or are looking to brush up on certification requirements, our detailed career guides for nursing roles have everything you need.
Nursing Programs, Leadership Degrees & More
Today’s nurses and APRNs are expertly trained to perform various services, and choosing the right degree program is the first step in any successful nursing career.
Hybrid and online learning models mean it’s never been easier to complete your nursing education, but not all programs are created equal: accreditation, tuition, coursework, faculty, and residency requirements are all important factors for aspiring nurses to consider. We’ve done all the research necessary to help find the program that’s right for you.
Nursing & Nurse Practitioner (NP) Licensure By State
State licensure ensures that nurses are competent to perform their unique scope of practice. Every nurse and APRN needs to be licensed, but their licensure requirements vary from role to role and from state to state.
While most nursing degree programs model their curriculum to match the requirements of the state in which they’re based, the rise of online programs means there are often more nuanced factors at work. We give you comprehensive and detailed information on what requirements apply specifically to you.
