Nursing school is difficult, but you can ease your studies with the help of instructional videos. Schools, hospitals, and nursing students produce videos to instruct, inform, and enlighten. Recent RN graduates are producing some of the best videos in question-and-answer formats, helping fellow students with the ins and outs of nursing school and various degree options. These videos are informal and hit close to home for students who are confused about which direction to take with their nurse education. Students may learn from many of these videos that employers are seeking nurses who have more than an associate’s degree. This list includes single videos and entire channels devoted to nursing education and careers.
