Career
Opportunities
Registered Nurses
Today, career opportunities for professional nurses are greater than ever
before. In hospitals, home settings, doctors' offices, clinics, health main
tenance organizations and a variety of specialized institutions, nurses are
assuming new roles and new responsibilities.
As nurses' responsibilities have expanded so have standards and require
ments for nursing education. A generation ago, nurses were prepared in
two-to-three year programs. For today's nurse, a four-year Bachelor of
Science degree in Nursing is becoming essential. That's because it broad
ens working knowledge of the biological, physical, social and behavioral
sciences; builds skills in critical thinking, clinical investigation and decision
making; and helps ensure professional advancement.
A free booklet by the American Nurses' Association offers information on
finding the program that's right for you, applying for admission and finan
cial aid, and a list of accredited Baccalaureate programs. For more infor

George Foreman: Fighting For Scholars
Former heaveyweight champion George Foreman is making a boxing
comeback to finance college scholarships, reports the June EBONY.
"Everybody wants to know why I'm making a comeback after so long,
says Foreman who returns 30 pounds heavier and 10 years later. "They
want to say the answer is money. They're RIGHT, but for all the WRONG
reasons." Foreman, who says he has enough money in a trust to take care
of he and his family the rest of their lives, explains the real reason he's re
turned to boxing is to help students get through college. He says, "when
$20,000 lets 20 kids finish their education it's like a gold mine."
Foreman also continues his seven-year pastorate of a small congregation
in Houston, and enjoys life with his fifth wife and baby daughter, as he
trains for his goal of a title fight in six months.
