Helping people is what makes you excited and happy. You’re very passionate about wellness and enjoy spending time with others. If that sounds like you, nursing degrees are probably the best healthcare choice for you.
Bachelor’s Degrees
A bachelor’s degree in nursing is an excellent option. You are going to require licensure to be a nurse, but most of the work can be done online.
Right now, the pandemic has most schools closed. Online degrees are an excellent option because you can still learn and do so from the comfort of home. Though hands-on learning is necessary at times, it happens later in the coursework. This allows you to continue your education and be on track when things ease up again.
Other Healthcare Options
Though nurses are in high demand, it might not be suitable for you. Other options include:
- Health services coordinator
- Healthcare management
- Health administration
- Transcription
- Medical assistant
- Pharmacy technician
Accreditation
When choosing a school and a program, make sure that they are accredited degrees. This indicates that an agency has looked into the coursework to ensure that it is appropriate and accurate. That way, you’re accessing the best information possible.
Accreditation also ensures that the school can offer financial aid in the form of government grants and education grants. You may also get a student loan to cover everything for the year or semester.
For most people, paying for their education is the hardest part. Even with the pandemic, financial aid is available in many forms. Filling out the FAFSA is important to see what you could get.
You may also ask about funding under the CARES act to make paying for college even easier.
