           In the United States, there are different levels of nursing degrees, such as nursing diploma, Associate degree, Bachelor’s degree, Master’s degree and PhD. 

          In the past there were many diploma nursing programs, but the number of diploma programs has been decreasing. In General it is preffered that Registered Nurses (RN) have degrees as this tends to validate nursing as a  professional carreer. RNs are encouraged to have at least an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN). A Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing (BSN) is preffered for RNs. RNs with a BSN are likely to have more job opportunities. For more information about ADN and BSN programs, please click the “Undergraduate” cloud above.

          When you complete a Bachelor’s program, you are eligible to go on to a Master’s program. In a Master’s program, RNs study in a specific area and learn more advanced skills in nursing. Furthermore, if RNs have a master’s degree, they are more independent, have more responsibility and they are able to enjoy their career as a professional RN. For more information about master’s progams in nursing, click the “graduate” cloud above.

          If you are not a citizen or permanent resident in the U.S.A, you must have your student visa  to go to a college in the U.S.A. For more information about the student visa, click the “VISA” cloud above.
