1. How to Get a Nursing Degree
Has it been your dream since you were a small child to become a nurse? Are you looking for ways that
you can realize that dream?
College America
You need to look no further. College America offers
several ways for you to get a nursing degree.
All you need to do is go to www.collegeamerica.edu and
investigate the nursing options that College America
offers. Here are a few facts about the nursing options
available for students.
Nursing Programs
One of the nursing degrees that College America offers is
the nursing associate degree. This program will only take
20 short months to complete.
And when you have completed the program, you will
have an ADN, or an Associate Degree of Nursing. This
program is offered only at the Denver location.
There are several different types of careers that you can acquire after you have received your ADN. One
of the most common careers is that of a Health Specialties Nurse.
People who hold ADNs also often become
Respiratory Therapists or Respiratory Therapist
Technicians. If you are currently struggling with
the decision as to whether or not you want to go
to college, think about the many opportunities
that will be opened to you with a degree.
If you already have a college degree, you can
make the decision to go back to school and get
another degree or certificate. If you are not
happy with the job you currently have, and you
think getting another degree or certificate could
help you get a better job, then you should
definitely consider getting more education.

2. Financial Aid
Many people are under the impression that they cannot afford to go back to school. But College America
offers helpful financial aid for all of its students.
If you have decided to go back to school, call College America today and talk to a financial aid advisor.
They can help you find out what you need to do and how easy it is to be able to afford college.
There are also other types of nursing degrees available at College America. If you want to get a nursing
degree, there will definitely be an option that fits
your wants and needs.
Continuing Education
In addition to the Associate Degree of Nursing,
College America also offers a Bachelor’s Degree of
Nursing. This degree is for registered nurses only
who want to continue their education and move in
the direction of graduate studies in nursing.
People who graduate with this degree have a wide
variety of doors opened to them career-wise once
they graduate. They often become Acute Care
Nurses, Advanced Practice Psychiatric Nurses,
Clinical Nurse Specialists, or Critical Care Nurses.
If any of these professions seem of interest to you, than earning this degree could be exactly what you
need to move forward into the career you desire. Changing careers may seem daunting, but if you are
not happy in your current career, switching careers could be exactly what you need.
You want to have a career that you enjoy doing. You want your pay to be adequate as well.
