A degree as a registered nurse is a sure ticket to job security these days. However, it's a real challenge for many people to get that degree. The demands of a full-time job, family, and other day-to-day responsibilities can make the idea of getting through nursing school seem like an impossible dream.

However, if you already have a degree as a Licensed Practical Nurse, paramedic, or respiratory therapist, there is a much easier, very convenient solution for you. There are a number of online nursing degree programs available these days which allow you to get your paramedic to RN, LPN to RN, or respiratory therapist to RN degree by taking online courses.

These programs will allow you to take courses from the comfort and convenience of your own living room, kitchen, bedroom, or whatever room you have your computer in! You don't have to drive to the nursing school, burning up expensive gasoline as you go. You don't have to rearrange your work schedule for school; you can take classes and hand in tests and participate in online study groups at the times that are most convenient for you.

Do you study best at 3 a.m.? 6 a.m.? Mid-afternoon? Then that's when you can go to your online classroom and start reading your lesson plan.

You don't have to arrange for babysitting for your children while you are away at class for the evening, day after day, week after week. You'll be right there in the house with them, advancing your career while they do their homework or watch a video or eat the dinner that you finally have time to prepare for them. And if you have a full-time job and can only go to nursing school part-time, you can do that too! Online nursing schools tend to be a lot more flexible than the traditional community college variety.

So if you are looking for convenience and flexibility, you should definitely give consideration to obtaining your Associate's Degree in nursing online.
