It’s also important that directors of nursing maintain their nursing ties. This means that you must be licensed to work as a nurse by the state board and keep up the proper licenses and certificates. Several years of experience on the floor is also a prerequisite for the job, since you’ll need an insider’s view on what kinds of challenges nurses face every day.

Family needs to understand the stress levels involved and the amount of time it takes to do well in training. I cannot stress this enough. Without a supportive husband, I would never have made it.

For students who have earned a bachelor’s degree in another field, there is the option of getting a second degree in nursing. They are given credit for their liberal arts requirements and can finish the program much more quickly. They also may be able to take an accelerated BSN course, which allows them to finish in 12-20 months.
