There are a lot of misconceptions about nurses. That you’ll only find us at the bedside in a hospital, that we all treat patients, or even that we are all registered nurses. Some of us are none of those things. A lot of us are all of that and more. It’s time to dig into some nurse anatomy to see what nurses are really made of, and how they’re impacting the world locally and globally.
Perhaps you have heard a few myths about nurses--like that we're all women, that our role is a "doctor's assistant", or that we only work in hospitals. Well, you can look inside the anatomy breakdowns of Ashley Gresh, public health nurse, or Keith Boettiger, president of Abbott’s Neuromodulation to know that isn't true. And then check out Nursing's Next Big Idea to see how Hopkins Nurses are shattering myths about their profession.
Want to be a nurse? If you have a bachelor’s in another field and want to be a nurse, the MSN (Entry Into Nursing) program might be a good fit. It emphasizes leadership, global impact, and interprofessional education.
