title: Online degrees for nurses: a flexible alternative.
abstract: Online degree programs are a popular and flexible alternative for nurses. Online courses offer nurses the opportunity to complete an undergraduate or graduate degree from their homes while they work and raise their families. Online courses are different from traditional classroom courses, so nurses need know what to expect. Staff educators are a key resource to staff nurses regarding returning to school for degrees.
