Tennessee Nursing Schools and Programs
Tennessee is so full of variety with adventure in the Appalachian Mountains to the music industry scene in Nashville. The state has historical figures such as Davy Crockett to Elvis Presley. There are the hallowed grounds of historical battlefields, monuments, and museums to visit. The African American and Native American history and culture from the past to present day are very educational exploration activities. In fact, Tennessee Cherokee Indian leader, Sequoyah, invented the first alphabet for an Indian language.
Tennessee provides nursing students with a wide variety of nursing education opportunities. Due to the rapidly expanding and evolving nature of the health care system, careers in nursing are expected to continue to grow significantly over the next decade. Tennessee has many nursing programs to choose from which are all very friendly to your specific needs. Four-year colleges and universities offer comprehensive nursing programs; while tech schools and community colleges can help you get specific certifications. In addition, the role of the professional nurse is expanding to include an emphasis on leadership, management, and education. Many programs require students to complete clinical studies, either at the university's public clinic or at area clinics, hospitals, and other resident care centers. This valuable experience will help prepare nursing students and gives them important networking opportunities.
