Nursing schools are educational institutions that provide training and education for individuals aspiring to become nurses. These schools offer various programs, including diploma, associate, bachelor's, and advanced degrees in nursing. Students learn essential skills such as patient care, medical ethics, and healthcare practices through classroom instruction and hands-on clinical experience. Many nursing schools are accredited by organizations like the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) or the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). Graduates from these programs are eligible to take the NCLEX-RN exam, which is required to obtain a nursing license and practice professionally.
