After a year working as a graduate nurse, the nurse decides to take the next step in continuing his education and advancing up the career ladder. What is the next step in the process?
1. Certification starting IVs
2. Master's degree in practical nursing
3. Taking courses in sociology
4. Associate degree in nursing
4
Rationale: The associate degree will allow the nurse to take the NCLEX and obtain licensure as an RN, which is the next step in the career ladder. The nurse also might choose to complete a BSN in order to obtain licensure as an RN. Certification advances the nurse's skill, but is not the next step on the career ladder.
