Resource Guide for Nursing Career and Degree Articles Launches

All Nursing Schools gives nursing career insight in a time of nursing shortage

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) April 4, 2008 -- All Nursing Schools (http://www.allnursingschools.com/), the most popular Web resource for prospective nursing students, recently launched a resource guide for Nursing Career and Degree Articles (http://www.allnursingschools.com/faqs/article-archive.php) to provide students with valuable information and insight about the current nursing education environment in a time of nursing shortage. This resource guide (http://www.allnursingschools.com/faqs/article-archive.php) offers a comprehensive collection of articles covering subjects from men in nursing to hot careers to financing a nursing education.

The nursing shortage, coupled with a wide variety of nursing opportunities, provides an array of choices for men and women who are interested in joining the nursing profession. The aging baby boomer population is creating an increasing and glaring need for qualified and skilled nurses, and there are currently not enough nurses or nursing students to fill the demand. A recent American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN) survey shows that while nursing applications continue to rise, many qualified applicants are turned away and this is one important factor driving the shortage. AllNursingSchools.com provides an overview of the factors contributing to this nursing shortage, and helps students explore their nursing career options.

Many practicing nurses are looking to advance their careers and earn higher salaries, and they need a resource for advanced education and training. All Nursing Schools provides today's nurses with direct access to the schools providing advanced education and training as well as detailed career information. "Naturally there is a strong desire for furthering one's own professional development. The link between higher levels of education, job satisfaction and better patient care is well evidenced and our resource guide is intended to spur that interest in higher education and ultimately get practicing nurses to take that first step." says Product Manager, Herman Chiang.

On the site, nursing students can also research government and private financial aid resources including nursing student loans, grants and scholarships, as well as the attractive nursing school loan forgiveness program. This program helps students pay back their nursing college loans while gaining valuable nursing experience in a hospital or clinical setting.

In addition, the resource center provides access to details about individual school programs and a comprehensive directory (http://www.allnursingschools.com/featured/) of more than 1,000 school listings.

Whether a student is trying to determine the best nursing career path, wanting to learn more about high-demand specialties, or just interested in nursing industry information, this nursing site caters to all, yet still appeals to specialized and experienced nursing professionals.
