Why you should consider a career in nursing

Choosing a career isn’t easy, especially when you’re young. While the lucky few might have a clear idea of what they want to do, for most of us, we only have a general idea of the sort of jobs that interest us. For example, you might know that you want to work with children or animals, that you want a role involving travel, or simply that you want to make a lot of money. Alternatively, it might be that you want to dedicate yourself to helping others – in which case, one of the career paths that’s definitely worth considering is nursing.

Being a nurse means that you get to help people every day and positively impact your local community. In addition, it enables you to work in the medical field without the cost and time commitment of going to medical school, and thanks to the availability of online programs, it’s also an area that you can retrain in as a mature student even if you have existing work and family obligations. 

This article goes into more detail about the role of a nurse, the advantages of having a career in nursing and options for career progression, and the kind of skills and characteristics you’ll need to succeed in the job. Then if you decide that it’s a career you’re interested in pursuing, there’s also some information on how to become a nurse and applying for nursing degrees like BSN to DNP programs online.

Microsoft will finally pull the plug on Internet Explorer in June 2022

Microsoft is now ready to kill off Internet Explorer. The IE 11 desktop app will be retired on June 15, 2022, for most versions of Windows 10. Microsoft Edge still has a built-in Internet Explorer mode for websites that still need IE and those organizations that still use old apps and sites that don't work with modern browsers. The company plans to support Edge's IE mode until the end of 2029, giving these organizations a few more years to transition these old web apps.

Microsoft 365 and other apps will stop supporting IE 11 on August 17. The only versions of IE that won't be affected include the Windows 10 Long-Term Servicing Channel, which is used for devices that stay the same over time (like air traffic control systems and MRI machines), and the Server Internet Explorer 11 desktop applications or the MSHTML (Trident) engine.
