Is there any special degree needed for nursing? Once in the career does on need continuing education credit?

Yes you need an Associates Degree in Nursing. You have to apply to the nursing program and be accepted first. It typically takes 2 yrs once you are accepted into the program. Then you have to take your board exam after you graduate with your degree. Then you must do continuing education credits. The guidelines are set for the Board of Nursing in your state. Usually the hospital that you work for will make sure you have all the requirements for each year. The CE credits arent hard to get. It may help to get more info at the Board of Nursing website in your state.

It all depends on what part of Nursing you are asking about. Every state has different requirements, so you would have to look it up in the state you live in. It IS helpful and to do the continuing education, in the health-care field, rules and regulations are always changing.II have been in the nursing/health-care field for 11 years and wouldn't change for nothing. If you have any registrations or certifications keep them renewed. It is good to keep it under your belt. Good luck!
