Career opportunities abound for nurses prepared at the baccalaureate level.
Graduates are prepared to give care to individuals of all ages with health care needs ranging from health promotion to rehabilitation. Graduates may also choose to focus on groups of consumers, families, or communities as they work in institutions and in the community. Wherever they practice, nurses with a broad liberal arts background combined with professional education are prepared to function in and influence the rapidly changing health care system. Some graduates are motivated to pursue higher education and become advanced practice nurses, nurse educators, or nurse administrators. They must have the ability to synthesize knowledge and to translate it into reality-oriented action.
