=== United States curriculum ===
Pre-requisites often include math, English, and other basic level courses. Basic courses in biology, anatomy and physiology are required. Depending on the nursing school, credits can be taken elsewhere, and transferred in, although limitations on time span between taking pre-requisites and applying to nursing programs exist, usually around 5 years, although some schools set no parameters.

Core coursework includes anatomy, physiology, pathology, and pharmacology. Additionally, a strong emphasis is placed on procedural education such as insertion of intravenous and urinary catheters, sterile dressing changes, proper administration of medications, physical examinations, caring bedside manner, and other vital skills. After the first semester basic skills are obtained, students rotate through Obstetrics, Mental Health, Medical, Surgical, Oncology, Critical Care and Pediatric Units to get a holistic view of nursing and what it encompasses. Many nursing students and nursing schools use [[Medical informatics|medical and healthcare educational software]] as a study or training aid.

Many schools offer an accelerated bachelor's degree in nursing program. A variation of the Second Degree BSN is the Accelerated BSN. In addition to giving credit for having completed liberal arts requirements, an Accelerated BSN program allows students to complete their undergraduate nursing program's course requirements more quickly than students enrolled in a traditional BSN program. Accelerated BSN programs usually take 12 months to complete, though some programs may run for 16 to 24 months.

The traditional BSN programs may take much longer time. For example, in California, where nursing is a relatively high-paid and in high demand profession, the completion of BSN (including pre-requisites, major courses in the program, and General Education courses of college) may take 5 to 6 years. A 3.0 GPA is often an entrance requirement for many programs. Some more prestigious schools require much higher GPA score to be competitive. Many programs now also require [[Test of Essential Academic Skills|TEAS-V test]] scores to evaluate potential students for entry.  Also, there are other options of [[Associate of Science in Nursing|Associate Degree]] for RN and LPN programs (which in term of nursing training is much shorter and the scope of practice is different than RN). Lastly, the [[Master of Science in Nursing|Master]] level is for experienced RNs to reach a higher education and may expand their scope of practice.

Nursing students today have a wide variety of program options that range from state colleges or universities to private, for-profit entities.  Nursing programs that are accredited offer program content that meets the national and state level standards.<ref name=":30">{{Cite web |last=Gaines |first=Kathleen |date=February 21, 2023 |title=Why Nursing School Accreditation Matters |url=https://nurse.org/education/nursing-school-accreditation/#what-is-nursing-school-accreditation |website=nurse.org}}</ref> The U.S. Department of Education identifies that the act of accreditation may support programs of study that continually assess their quality of education, strive to offer improvements when needed, utilize faculty and staff when planning and implementing program evaluation, and standardizing criteria specific to professional certificates and licensure.<ref name=":30" /> Ensuring that curriculum is up-to-date, relevant, and current to the happenings within nursing and healthcare today, may be better obtained through an accredited nursing program. Nursing students that choose an accredited nursing program could receive federal financial aid and might successfully transfer course credits to another accredited program. These benefits may not be available for students that utilize a non-accredited program.  There are two main accrediting bodies for nursing programs.  The Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN)[https://www.acenursing.org/] and the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE)[https://www.aacnnursing.org/ccne-accreditation].<ref name=":30" /> Both accrediting bodies are sufficient to ensure that nursing programs meet national standards. ACEN provides accreditations for all levels of nursing programs; this includes the practical nurse through the doctorate. CCNE provides accreditation for the bachelorette and master's nursing programs. <ref name=":30" />     

In the [[United States]], students graduate from nursing education programs qualified to take one of the [[NCLEX]] (National Council Licensure Examination) exams, the NCLEX-PN for [[Licensed Practical Nurse|Licensed Practical Nurses]] (LPNs) or the NCLEX-RN for [[Registered Nurse|Registered Nurses]] (RNs).

== Continuing education ==
After the Nursing student becomes a Registered nurse, he or she is required to participate in continuing education to retain their licensing and registration.<ref name=":29" /> In 2010, it was projected that by 2018, there would be a 22% job growth in the nursing field; at the time it was the United States' fastest growing occupation.<ref>{{cite web |date=January 28, 2010 |title=Nursing Projected to Lead Employment Growth over Next Decade |url=http://www.rwjf.org/en/library/articles-and-news/2010/01/nursing-projected-to-lead-employment-growth-over-next-decade.html |access-date=17 July 2017 |publisher=Robert Wood Johnson Foundation}}</ref>

== Scope ==
Nursing education includes instruction in topic areas. These are [[nursing assessment]], [[nursing diagnosis]], and [[Nursing care plan|nursing care planning]]. In the United States, nursing students learn through traditional classroom and lab instruction.  Nursing education also involves clinical rotations and simulation, throughout their schooling, to develop care planning and clinical reasoning.   At the end of schooling, nursing students in the US and Canada must take and pass the NCLEX (National Council of Licensure Examination) to practice.

== Nursing specialties ==
There are a variety of areas where nurses can specialize in and they may decide they want to be qualified in one or several specialties over the course of their career. There are four main branches of nursing: Adult nursing, Children's Nursing, Mental Health Nursing and Learning Disability Nursing.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Smith |first=Katie |date=2012-03-08 |title=What type of nursing shall I study? |url=https://www.nursingtimes.net/students/what-type-of-nursing-shall-i-study-08-03-2012/ |access-date=2022-05-19 |website=Nursing Times |language=en}}</ref>

== Present aims ==
Among nurse educators, arguments continue about the ideal balance of practical preparation and the need to educate the future practitioner to manage healthcare and to have a broader view of the practice. To meet both requirements, nurse education aims to develop a lifelong learner who can adapt effectively to changes in both the theory and practice of nursing.<ref name="dx.doi.org">{{Cite journal |last1=Hines |first1=Cheryl B. |last2=Cody |first2=Shameka L. |last3=Eyer |first3=Joshua C. |last4=Coupe |first4=Landry |date=February 1, 2021 |title=An Opioid Education Program for Baccalaureate Nursing Students |url=https://dx.doi.org/10.1097/JAN.0000000000000407 |journal=Journal of Addictions Nursing |language=en |volume=32 |issue=2 |pages=88–94 |doi=10.1097/JAN.0000000000000407 |issn=1548-7148 |pmid=34060759 |s2cid=235267463}}</ref>

Medical simulation and hands on learning are common among nursing education practices. Some nursing schools will carry out hands on demonstrations and practice so that future nurses can learn skills like how to administer specific medications and care for specific patients such as the skills taught in an opioid care training course.<ref name="dx.doi.org" /> While it is clear that the use of [[Medical simulation]] in nursing education is important for improving practice, patient safety, and [[Interprofessional education|interprofessional team skills]], the balance of simulation to clinical time remains in the hands of the institutions.<ref name="NCSBNsimGuidelines">{{cite journal |author=Alexander M, [[Carol Fowler Durham|Durham CF]], Hooper JI, Jeffries PR, Goldman N, Kardong-Edgren S, Kesten KS, Spector N, Tagliareni E, Radtke B, Tillman C |year=2015 |title=NCSBN Simulation Guidelines for Prelicensure Nursing Programs. |url=http://www.journalofnursingregulation.com/article/S2155-8256%2815%2930783-3/pdf |journal=Journal of Nursing Regulation |volume=6 |issue=3 |pages=39–42 |doi=10.1016/s2155-8256(15)30783-3 |s2cid=70692711 |access-date=2015-12-27}}</ref>

Although nurses tend to spend a lot of time in nursing school doing simulation and clinical learning, they also spend time in the classroom learning about the care that they will eventually give. This includes both broad science courses as well as very specific courses such as a course specifically about how to better care for addiction patients.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Aronowitz |first1=Shoshana V. |last2=Compton |first2=Peggy |last3=Schmidt |first3=Heath D. |date=August 3, 2020 |title=Innovative Approaches to Educating Future Clinicians about Opioids, Pain, Addiction and Health Policy |journal=Pain Management Nursing |language=en |volume=22 |issue=1 |pages=11–14 |doi=10.1016/j.pmn.2020.07.001 |pmc=9089290 |pmid=32763015 |doi-access=free}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Murcia |first1=Saidy Eliana Arias |last2=Lopez |first2=Lucero |date=2016-07-04 |title=The experience of nurses in care for culturally diverse families: A qualitative meta-synthesis 1 |journal=Revista Latino-Americana de Enfermagem |volume=24 |pages=e2718 |doi=10.1590/1518-8345.1052.2718 |issn=0104-1169 |pmc=4964299 |pmid=27384469}}</ref>

The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) [https://www.aacnnursing.org/essentials] has created The Essentials to identify curriculum content and student competencies that should be met for all bachelorette, master's and doctoral level nursing students.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024 |title=American Association of Colleges of Nursing |url=https://www.aacnnursing.org/essentials |website=The Essentials}}</ref> Most recently The Essentials underwent an overhaul that resulted in the competencies and sub-competencies of each domain, be taught with a focus on [[competency-based education]] and assessment.  

Additionally, newer curriculums within nursing education are requiring future nurses to be educated on patient and workforce diversity. A large step in increasing diversity within nursing is through education. Several research studies have shown diverse patient populations cycle through hospitals on a regular basis and a patient's needs are never the same. It is a nurse's job to cater to their needs, and ensure the patient is being treated well.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Cottingham |first=Marci D. |date=2018-12-27 |title=The missing and needed male nurse: Discursive hybridization in professional nursing texts |journal=Gender, Work & Organization |volume=26 |issue=2 |pages=197–213 |doi=10.1111/gwao.12333 |issn=0968-6673 |s2cid=150352761 |hdl-access=free |hdl=11245.1/428411f7-feaa-4e9e-9d6b-ed1458ed9462}}</ref> During their education, nurses will master the practice of engaging, communicating, and treating unique patient populations, while working with diverse coworkers.

== Academic integrity and nursing education ==
Within the undergraduate student population, over 70% have self-reported participating in some form of [[Academic dishonesty|academic misconduct]] or dishonesty within the classroom setting. <ref>{{Cite journal |last=McClung & Schneider |date=2018 |title=The development and testing of nursing student perceptions of dishonesty scale |url=https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nedt.2017.11002 |journal=Nursing Education Today |issue=61 |pages=28-35}}</ref> [[Academic integrity]] within nursing education programs should be prioritized as research states that dishonest behaviors in the classroom setting may increase the likelihood of clinical dishonesty.  This could impact patient safety and outcomes.  <ref>{{Cite journal |last=McClung & Gaberson |date=2021 |title=Academic dishonesty among nursing students |url=https://doi.org/10.1097/NNE.0000000000000863 |journal=Nurse Educator |volume=46 |issue=2 |pages=111-115}}</ref> Nursing programs could begin to address academic misconduct in the classroom by leaning into Bandura's Social Learning Theory (SLT). The SLT posits that students learn behaviors from observing, imitating, and modeling. <ref>{{Cite journal |last=Eby et al |date=2021 |title=Fostering ethical integrity in nursing: An ongoing examination of diverse perceptions |url=https://doi.org/10.1016/j.teln.2020.07001 |journal=Teaching and Learning in Nursing |issue=16 |pages=36-42}}</ref> A variety of educational tools may be implemented to help shape the student's perceptions of dishonest behaviors. Some curriculum, simulation, and [[experiential learning]] experiences may help model appropriate classroom and clinical behavior choices. With the explosion of artificial intelligence (AI) use among students, educating the nursing student population on how to appropriately utilize AI resources may be necessary.

== History ==
Emmett, ID is a town on the southern bank of the Payette River that grew up around a ferry crossing of the Payette River. Emmett was originally called Martinsville, named after Nathaniel Martin who, along with Jonathan Smith, built the ferry crossing.<ref name=":4">{{Cite web |title=History - |url=http://emmettconnections.com/history/ |access-date=2022-02-08 |language=en-US}}</ref> Next, the name was changed to "Emmettville," because it was primarily a post office named after Emmett Cahalan, the son of Tom Cahalan, an early settler of the area. The post office was later moved but the town retained the name. A few years later the "ville" was dropped and the post office and town became simply Emmett. In 1883 James Wardwell had the town platted, and in 1900 the town was incorporated as Emmett. Later, in March 1902, the Idaho Northern railroad came to the valley.<ref name=":5">[http://www.gemcountymuseum.org/history-railroad.html], Gem County Historical Society, accessed 2011-07-20</ref>

After the closing of the mines in 1906, the power lines were extended to Emmett. A series of irrigation projects made it possible for more rapid expansion of the town as the major service center for a farming and fruit-growing valley. In the early 1900s fruit packers adopted the label of "Gem of Plenty" because of the fertility of the valley. During the mining era the valley was known as the "garden" for the mining regions. <ref name=":6">{{cite web |title=Emmett Idaho & Gem County: Area History |url=http://www.emmettid-realestate.com/history.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111112031239/http://www.emmettid-realestate.com/history.htm |archive-date=2011-11-12 |access-date=2011-07-20}}, United Country Musick & Sons Auctions / Real Estate Accessed 2011-7-11</ref>
