What the work is worth. Nurses are the most trusted profession in America for a reason: they are the person present at the moment that decides whether a patient recovers.

An ordinary day. Assess patients, administer treatment, watch for the change that means something is wrong, coordinate with physicians, and teach patients and families.

The path in. Associate's or bachelor's in nursing plus the NCLEX license; the bachelor's is increasingly preferred.

From zero. The STEM Farm Healthcare / Clinical Support / Medical Technology track starts at zero-STEM intake and ends in this kind of work, with verified proof at every gate.
