increase the knowledge, skills, and competencies of nurses and other health care professionals employed by the
bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg
institution. Some roles for RNs in nursing require advanced graduate degrees, such as a clinical nurse specialist or
bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg
nurse practitioner. There are various educational routes for becoming a registered nurse (RN), such as associate,
bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg
diploma, and baccalaureate. Continuing education involves formal, organized educational programs offered by

without medical orders. Accountability means that you are professionally and legally responsible for the type and
bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg
quality of nursing care provided. To obtain licensure in the United States, RN candidates must pass the NCLEX-
bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg
RN examination administered by the individual State Boards of Nursing to obtain a nursing license. Beyond the
bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg

actions, knowledgeable in the subject, and responsible to self and others. There is an ongoing global nursing
bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg
shortage, which results from insufficient qualified registered nurses (RNs) to fill vacant positions and the loss of
bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg
qualified RNs to other professions. bg bg bg bg
