The Warmth of a Song
by Helen Von Erck
Category: Fiction

This book shows nurses and all healthcare professionals how they can earn an undergraduate or graduate degree from the comfort of their own home. Colleges all over the country are developing programs specifically for healthcare professionals that are in their clinical area or an area complimentary to their profession (like healthcare administration). Working adults have found going back to college almost impossible, especially healthcare professionals who must work long hours, rotate shifts, and change their schedules weekly. Distance education is not easier but it is convenient. There is no worry about driving in bad weather, parking, or getting a baby sitter. Course work can be completed around your busy schedule rather than your busy life revolving around class schedules. The Internet is the latest delivery method for distance education but the correspondence model is still popular. The Internet encourages class participation using some type of news group and assignments can be communicated quickly to the professor over the Internet. There are other books about distance education in general. This one is the only one that is specific to all healthcare professionals, written by a healthcare professional who completed his undergraduate and graduate degree completely by distance education.
