There is one more path to RN now
Want to add a reference to the Master of Nursing Degree (MN, not MSN) [] that allows people with non-nursing bachelor degrees to go into nursing at the RN level without having to go the traditional route. Any opposition? Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.133.42.16 (talk) 19:11, 10 July 2009 (UTC) I slightly reworded the last few words of the opening statement to help readers better understand what it means to work in different areas of nursing. I also contributed valuable information on the demand for nursing and how it would possibly be improved upon. However, I did notice that many of the sources in this article are from several years ago. Therefore I believe that, if possible, some of the values and requirements in the table could be updated.

References and more detail
I was pleased to find the article. We need more references, however. A few additions needed are: prerequisites for nursing school and projected nursing shortage.CynRNCynRN (talk) 23:10, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

WP:NURSE priority review
As part of a review of all nursing wikiproject articles, I have changed this article's importance to mid per WikiProject Nursing/Assessment. I have also added C class. If you disagree, please leave a note here so we can discuss it. Cheers, Basie (talk) 05:58, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

LVN vs LPN
No mention is made of LVN. As best I can tell, this is what California and Texas call an LPN. It should be included, since Texas and Calfornia make up about 20% of US population. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Blicher (talk • contribs) 17:54, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

Diversity and Inclusion
Please consider changing the picture of the two female (she/her) nurses and add one with a male (he/him) and transgender or non-binary orientation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2803:9800:A886:8659:749E:4C59:F9D6:4E69 (talk) 18:05, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
