Nurses are some of the busiest professionals, driven by compassion and the desire to care for others. As an RN already in the field, the idea of going back to school when you’re preoccupied with work and personal responsibilities may sound difficult, but earning your bachelor’s of nursing can open up a world of possibilities for your future.
