A Nursing Career Resource with Licensing Info & Job Openings
Becoming a nurse in Delaware is a great career move. One of the fastest growing parts of the USA's population is the elder segment. Our general knowledge of how to have better health has increased which means that we are living longer. A larger senior population means more nursing homes will need to be built, which in turn translates to even more nursing jobs. Nurses provide personal care and support to all types of people from the elderly to the newly born. Chances are every person in America has had the chance to be cared for by a nurse in one way or another. A nurse can expect to draw blood, treat wounds, transport patients, and pass medications. Those are not all encompassing - nurses have a myriad of jobs depending on what type of facility they work in.
It is not recommended to try to find an online nursing school that claims to provide all training required to gain a nursing degree. While much of a nursing course can feasibly be taught online, the major segment- clinicals (manual skills) cannot be taught through a distance learning program. There are many colleges that will accept pre-requisites from online schools, though.
Community colleges are one place to find a nursing course in Delaware. There are also programs that are devoted to only nursing and the LPN or RN degrees.
Prior to taking the national council on licensure exam (NCLEX) the student must apply to take the exam. There is a $200 fee which is not refundable. Delaware does participate in the National Nurse Compact - a nurse that is licensed in another participating state does not need to apply for a Delaware license unless they plan to move to Delaware. At that time the nurse may pay the $110 fee and receive a Delaware license without another exam.
Delaware requires a $110 license application fee.
