Many nurses find their unique skill set is well-suited to the challenges presented by adding MSN studies to a busy career. As an RN, you’re already an expert in time management. You know how to shift priorities in a heartbeat when required. Nurses also have to exhibit grace under pressure and maintain high professional standards in stressful situations. These are some of the qualities that can give you an edge in graduate school, and online classes make it easier to maintain the right work-life balance as you study.
Whether you need to read a chapter, work on a paper, watch a lecture or post to the discussion board, online classes are in session 24/7. And the best part is that loved ones never have to wait for you to get home from class at night or on the weekends. You can learn in any location and whenever the time is right for you.
