Each nursing specialization requires specific education and training:
- Registered Nurse (RN): Generally requires an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) or a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). - Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN): Requires a Master's degree or higher in a specialized field of nursing. - Certifications: Many specializations require additional certifications, such as the Certified Pediatric Nurse (CPN) for pediatric nursing or the Critical Care Registered Nurse (CCRN) for critical care nursing.
