Online Education for the Healthcare Industry
Many industries require professionals working within the industry to obtain continuing education credits. The healthcare industry is no exception. Nurses play a huge role in the healthcare industry. It is important for nurses to keep in touch with the latest medicines, medical technologies, and patient care practices. In fact, some people are suggesting that all nurses should be required to hold a bachelor’s degree in the field in order to better serve the increasing number of senior citizens needing care.
This being said, education programs for nurses are in demand. Both current and aspiring nurses are seeking flexible, excellerated programs to help them obtain the knowledge they need to better serve their patients. Online education is a great solution for these professionals.
With demand for nursing programs so high, there are more people to educate and more schedules to accommodate. Online courses provide the ability for information to reach an unlimited number of students. They also provide students the ability to engage in coursework when it is most convenient for them. This is especially helpful for nurses with unconventional work hours.
Online programs allow nurses to communicate with healthcare professionals from all over the world. This allows them to share experiences and best practices and allows them to obtain insight as to how things are done in other countries. By making it easier for nurses to continue their education they will be more likely to take advantage of opportunities and take in additional knowledge.

Yes, I definately agree, nursing is a very great career and I am very excited about starting a career as a nurse….
For once I think this is not a career that should be done online but at the classroom
I agree to an extent – while some of the text work can be done online, it is also important to get hands on nursing experience
Nursing is a great career and i can’t wait to start my career as one!
I agree with the person below. Nursing needs to be interactive, although having an online course would provide adequate, extra information.
great article love every thing there is when i comes to nursing. i think helping people who need help their day to day living actives is wonderful, especially in our modern times.
I think that nursing needs to be more hands on than all textbook. Usually people learn more by interacting than just reading from a book.
Makes me think about taking online course to speed up my education process
You Will Always Find a job in nursing
Good Read
I may become a nurse before becoming a neurologist. They are both different philosophies, but I know I will have experience and benefit in other ways in the medical field
My brother is a paramedic and just started an online program to become a RN. I think more and more career opportunities will be offered online.
Im actually looking to becoming a nurse…This was informative
Very interesting to read about.
The nursing program has become one of the most popular majors. I know it is becoming harder to get in to the program so I am glad that the online colleges are helping others to find a different approach to getting into the program.
My mom wanted to continue her education in nursing. she should read this!
honestly, I’m worried about the healthcare field. There are so many nurses! There is a ridiculous waiting list to get into the nursing program at all at jjc. I feel like there might be some kind of shortage on nursing jobs in the next few years, especially if we don’t all get free healthcare.
on-line classes would be great for anyone who has a full-time job.
interesting
Oh! My friend is going into nursing this would be great information for her.
Nursing is becoming a huge industry among the future generations and pays well.
i am in high school and i am working my butt of so that i can become a great nurse. i fully agree with the article, everybody in the Healthcare industry receive an ongoing training
I definitely believe that nurses need to continue their learning via onine education or educational seminars.
nurses are in great need! very helpful article!
Nursing is a great career and helps you with the enjoyment of helping others.
Nursing is a good career i thought about it
I think certain online classes are great but things like Nursing I think require some hands on training. It kinda reminds me of taking Online personal fitness? Somethings shouldn’t be done online.
nursing is a serious field to go into, you really do need as much knowledge as you can get to keep on top of things. i’m sure the extra knowledge wouldn’t hurt at all either.
I am working on my Associates of Applied Science RN degree right now. There are many specialties of nursing that require a BA for certain nursing opportunities such as CRNA.
To require all nurses to obtain a BA for their RN would further increase the nurse shortage! This is not ideal to “better serve the increasing number of senior citizens needing care.”
This is a great career. Nurses have great areas that they work.
A person have to love people and this will be career.
I totally disagree with this. My mother is a nurse and she knows about the shortage in nursing. They require everyones help be it diploma nurse, LPN’s, Associate degrees or BSN. Right now the problems are the schools. They have many people wanting to be nurses but they do not have teachers. Reason: colleges don’t pay nursing teachers enough! this is the reason, many applicants are still on waiting list and why there is a shortage of nursing everywhere you go.
I also think that when in a nursing program, you should be doing a lot of hands on work!
I think some classes on line would be helpful, however there are some classes that need to be taught in a school with the hands- on portion. But on line classes would still benefit the program.
I think that nursing definitly has to be hands on rather than all textbook. Nursing is more of a skill that is requires compassion that cannot be learned just from online classes.
I do agree that nurses need bachelor degree because working in such a field requires a lot of risks
I agree with some of the previous commentators about nursing school online. I think being a nurse require practical skills that need to be hand ons.
Well cosidering I am wanting to become a nurse I wouldnt mind online classes. However, I still believe we still need to do some casses at an actually school because we cant lose our people skills considering we will have to be dealing with people all the time in this profession.
Health care industry has a great opportunity to success in ur life.
I think Nursing should not be online maybe the courses that aren’t helpful..but most stuff needs to be hands on.
I believe Nursing is a wonderful career to major in; it pays well, you help out people in need, and you gain knowledge(learn new things). I think the only bad thing about Nursing is the Long hours, and sometime you dont have a proper schedule, they give you whatever time they want, day or night…but other than that, nursing is something i might think of doing as my future career.
Nursing is a great career! i want to be one! And it is woderfull how online classes can help you
This is a great opportunity!
This is great. Especially for those wanting to become a nurse while working elsewhere.
Nursing was my first career choice, although I changed it, I still think NUSRSES ARE GREAT!
Yes, I definately agree, nursing is a very great career and I am very excited about starting a career as a nurse….
Nursing is a great career! Not only does it pay well but also devlops a great pride in assisting others.
I totally agree with the article. I think it would be a huge asset to anyone working in the Healthcare industry to be fully knowledgeable and to receive ongoing training. This would ensure everyone is receiving the lastest and most updated training information. As we know the world is in constant change and inorder to be successful we should all strive to seek additional training.
It is more way of the future happening now.
