The National League for Nursing is a professional organization of nurse educators. The NLN does encourage and support those who are seeking a nursing career, but it does not have a curriculum for students. We suggest that you contact the resources listed below for more information.

Considering Nursing as a Career?
Nursing practice is no longer limited to the hospital setting. Nursing career choices and opportunities are extensive and varied. Read about career options and personal stories from nursing students and nurses at:

Financial Aid
Planning and applying for financial aid to support nursing education should start early. Financial aid for all students is limited so it is important that the application and necessary documents are submitted by published deadlines. Begin by researching local resources such as the Lion's Club, American Legion, Chamber of Commerce, and women's organizations. Contact the financial aid office of the school where you plan to attend.
