A rewarding career in nursing begins with working toward a degree in this discipline. The coursework may include both traditional sciences as well as training in technical skills and treatment modalities. Nurses can work in both the public and private sector to provide healthcare.

An Associate of Science is a two-year degree that is ideal for scholars who want to continue their education and pursue a bachelor’s or master’s degree in the future. Students may be able to earn an AS both in person or online at a community college, technical school or university.
