| Healthcare
agencies recognize the need for highly educated nurses who are creative
problem solvers. For this reason they prefer to hire baccalaureate
prepared nurses to plan, carry out and evaluate patient care in their
institutions. These nurses work in settings as varied as emergency
rooms and operating rooms to school nurses’ offices and rural
health clinics. Baccalaureate prepared nurses are valued care givers and energetic leaders in hospitals, clinics, schools and mental health centers. Research demonstrates better patient outcomes – fewer infections and higher survival rates – in hospitals with more baccalaureate educated nurses.
