Program Description
Do you enjoy helping others? Are you ready for a rewarding career in healthcare? Nurses work as part of a team along with physicians and other medical professionals to provide and coordinate patient care, educate patients and the public about health conditions, and provide advice and emotional support to patients and their family members.
