Good day!

My name is Shanna Shafer. I am a Registered Nurse and I work with a nursing education website that provides current and future nurses with resources and access to educational options across the United States. I’ve spent over ten years in the field, caring for patients and educating communities, and would love nothing more than to see the next generation of nurses do the same.

According to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics the nursing profession is expected to grow by 20 percent through the year 2020, which means that now is a great time to begin or advance in your nursing career. But many of those looking to enter the field get confused by all the options they see. Over and over, they just want to know, how can I become a nurse?

Since I know first hand how confusing it can be to figure out the path to becoming an RN, I recently wrote and added a valuable resource page to our redesigned website, which outlines exactly how to become a Registered Nurse. I created this page as a simple and easy to read resource for all the potential nurses out there!

At Best Nursing Degree, we know the many challenges current and future nurses face. Whether you’re a working nurse looking to further your education and career, a professional wanting to make a career switch into the nursing field, or simply someone who is ready to take your first steps to becoming a nurse, we have resources that can help you.

We’re here to help you answer questions like:

Which school is right for me?
Should I earn my degree or certification online?
Which program or degree is right for me?
What nursing specialty is right for me?
How am I going to pay for my education, and what scholarships am I eligible for?
Do I have what it takes to be a good nurse?
What are the benefits of becoming a nurse?

At BestNursingDegree.com, our mission is to help you answer these questions, and ultimately to connect you with the nursing program that’s right for you.
