The nursing profession has changed considerably since the days of white shoes, stethoscopes and a good bedside manner. Where once there was only one kind of nurse, the profession has become an alphabet soup of abbreviations such as LPN’s, RN’s and many others. Deciding what kind of nurse you’ll be even effects your decision when attending an online university or going for financial aid.

Nursing has come a long way from the days of Florence Nightingale. These days the profession needs a lot more than a clean white smock, a thermometer and a good bedside manner. Modern nurses need to have at least two years of basic education just to get licensed. That goes up to four, and maybe more, to get registered. The end result is there’s a serious shortage of nurses throughout the world these days.
