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.

STEM program path for beginners. A path has a start, a direction and a destination. The assessment gives the direction, the career pages the destination, and the STEM Farm track the start at zero. A STEM program is a path to a career. Find the career that fits first, then the STEM Farm track that starts at zero and ends in that job with verified proof at every gate. A beginner needs a direction before a curriculum. The assessment is the direction; the track is the curriculum.
