Nursing Degree Programs

"Are nurses important?"

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that "registered nurses constitute the largest health care occupation, with 2.4 million jobs." Nurses are essential to the American health care system. When you go for your check-up, you'll talk to a nurse before anyone else. If you go to the ER (emergency room), a nurse is the first professional to see you.

Currently in the U.S., the industry is facing a shortage of nursing professionals. Colleges and universities are trying to increase the number of classes that are offered in the nursing field, but the class times aren't always convenient, especially for working nurses.

Studying online allows anyone the opportunity to log into class anytime, allowing you to increase your skills and earn your degree without rearranging your life. The University of Illinois Global Campus provides such opportunities to registered nurses. RNs can complete their degree and earn a bachelor's degree in nursing online from a reputable university.

If you are researching nursing programs, you might appreciate our "Mini-Guide" to nursing degrees. Get started on finding the right nursing degree program (or see all nursing degrees):

• Associate's Level Nursing Degrees
