Pack Like a Pro: 10 Essential Items Nursing Students Should Carry

By Uloop Guest Writer on May 4, 2015

Nursing is the largest health care profession in the United States. If you’re interested in a promising career where you can make a real difference, this field offers plenty of potential for employment and growth.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported 2,711,500 jobs for registered nurses in 2012. The job outlook for these professionals is excellent. Employment for registered nurses is expected to grow 19 percent over the 2012 to 2022 decade, which is much faster than the average of just 11 percent for all occupations.

Successful nurses also have great potential for advancement. You can pursue continuing education far beyond your nursing degree. Combine a background in nursing with a flexible online Master’s in Healthcare Informatics from a school like Adelphi University and you can become a nursing informatics specialist. Go for a Master of Science in Nursing and you can become a nurse practitioner, practicing independently.

If you’re ready to embark on your journey to a successful career in nursing, you can begin by preparing yourself thoroughly for the challenges of nursing school. The right tools and supplies will help you stay at the head of your class.

Pack your bag carefully and you’ll be ready for any challenge nursing school can throw at you.
