Nursing school is an educational program designed to prepare students for a career in nursing. It typically includes both classroom instruction and hands-on clinical experience. Students learn about human anatomy, patient care, pharmacology, and medical ethics, among other subjects. Graduates often earn a degree, such as an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) or a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). Upon completion of nursing school, students must pass the NCLEX-RN exam to become licensed registered nurses. Nursing programs can vary in length, usually taking two to four years, depending on the degree pursued. Many schools also offer specialized training in areas like pediatrics or emergency care.
