Have you hugged a nurse today?

One of the best things about living in New England is the availability of world-class health care.  Mike and I are very lucky to be near the Lahey Clinic, which is one of the most-respected medical facilities not just in New England, not just in the United States, but in the whole world.

The best nurses always work hard to keep up with what’s new in medicine, to help further their careers, and give their patients the best care possible.  But due to a shortage of highly qualified nurses, the ones who are working often have to work very long hours, which leaves little time to commute to school to further their education.

Perhaps an online nursing degree is the answer?  This is ideal for busy working people, as it’s possible to study in the comfort of one’s own home, and save valuable time that might otherwise be spent on a long commute.

Western Governors University is an accredited online university that offers a variety of degree programs in the health care field.  They are designed for people who already have a nursing degree of certificate, for those who wish to further their education, while still holding down a job.  After all, you still need to work so you can pay the bills and put food on the table, right?

And speaking of finances, Western Governors University is surprisingly affordable, even more so than other online universities.  Yet they do not compromise on the quality of your learning experience.  But if you find that you do need financial aid, it is indeed available.

Health care is a recession-proof field, and working to advance in your career will definitely pay off.
