Nursing

The career i decided to research on was nursing. I will be demonstrating information about what it is like to be a nurse, the education steps needed to attain this career, and also the amount of money they make and how computer science can be used in this career.

This website will give you the basics on what it is like to become a nurse.

"Nursing is the protection, promotion, and optimization of health and abilities, prevention of illness and injury, facilitation of healing, alleviation of suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of human response, and advocacy in the care of individuals, families, groups, communities, and populations." "In order to be accepted into an accredited nurse anesthesia program, you must be a currently licensed RN with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) or other appropriate baccalaureate degree and at least one year of experience in an acute care setting. Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) programs, which lead to a master’s or doctoral degree, take two to three years and include clinical training in university-based or large community hospitals. Following graduation, you must pass the national certification exam before you can begin practice. However, certification is not a one-time accomplishment: In order to maintain their certification standing, CRNAs must obtain a minimum of 40 hours of continuing education every two years." source: http://explorehealthcareers.org/en/Career/80/Nurse_Anesthetist#Tab=Requirements
