Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
The most important consideration of the ones listed is to make sure that necessary college prerequisites are offered so the student will be able to enter college upon graduation from high school/vocational school. The vocational school nursing program may have an articulation agreement with a college for an LPN to an RN or an LPN to a BSN so the student may streamline her educational process and be able to begin caring for clients and make an income early on in her career. If the nursing program prepares high school students for sitting for the license examination, then she should have no problems with age. The student may gain experience in acute and long-term care facilities over her career as a nurse, so whether or not the program offers clinical experiences in both areas is not the most important consideration. Most vocational schools affiliated with a high school encourage students to be involved in extracurricular activities.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
Nursing education programs sponsored by hospitals are called diploma nursing programs. These programs vary in length from 2 to 3 years and prepare the student to write the NCLEX-RN and be qualified as a registered nurse. There is often a heavy emphasis on clinical learning.
