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.

A Master of Science is an advanced program of study that can be earned in about two years. Many schools offer online or part-time MSc programs so that busy learners can further their education in a way that is convenient for them.
