Continuing Education

tool asked:


I’m trying to contact this university’s continuing ed department and they are impossible to reach! I’ve emailed and everything weeks ago! I keep calling to no avail!

My question is this: I want to take one class! Just one! I already have a BA so do I have to reaply as a second major to get admission to that department or do I go through continuing education? No one is answering this and the deadline is Oct. 1 for Spring semester!

Help!

My husband works in a company where they constantly deny him any type of continuing education or training to update information. He is a computer scientist and is working with older software but also would like to know newer software. Is there a campus or school that teaches post graduates of college newer stuff, he’s afraid that if he stays with the company for too long he will become unemployable because they are not willing to give him further training on newer technology.

When you reach a certain level in your executive career, you start to … well, coast a bit sometimes. Be honest, now. Have you decided - actively or not - that you already know enough, and don’t need to continue improving your skill set?

Call it a feeling of invincibility. It has its advantages in the business world, but it can have its drawbacks, too. Particularly when you start thinking about changing careers, and especially when you start thinking about moving into a different industry. And particularly when it comes to making an unexpected job transition, as is happening more frequently these days.

Look at the people already doing the work you want to do. The ones who aren’t there yet, but want to be. Not all of them are pursuing continuing education to make themselves better candidates for the management positions they’re after. But a lot of them are. And that’s an extra point or two they’ll have on you when you start sending out your resume to recruiters and headhunters and the like.

Don’t sit on your laurels. It’s one of the most dangerous things you can do these days.

Need a little present-moment way to look at it? Think of the people working around you. How much could they benefit from your increased knowledge? How much could your company improve? And then (to make it all about you again), how much better would your resume look when you’ve helped your team and your company make great strides?

Education isn’t just a lark. If you have a company that helps pay for continuing education (most do), you know they don’t think it’s a lark. They know it’ll only help their bottom line by keeping their people sharp. It’ll help your bottom line, too.

And as we’re all learning in the world of work (or, as we may need to learn over and over again), if you’re not moving forward, keeping up, getting ahead - or whatever phrase you choose to use - you’re not just standing still as a result.

Fact is, you’re falling behind, or the rest of the world is moving ahead of you. Either way you look at it, the glass is half-empty for you, and getting emptier.

So enough mixing of metaphors. If you haven’t gone through that course catalog yet, now’s as good a time as any to start. Go for it!

The lifestyles of today have become pretty fast and thus education too needs to cater to that. Thus online nursing schools are just a step in that direction.

Commuting No Longer A Hassle

Commuting to regular college daily can cause a lot of havoc in one’s life as those who have personal commitments have to work their schedules around the college schedule. With online nursing continuing education you have the facility to make your own schedules and study at your pace. This way even if you study at night no one would have any objections. A regular nursing degree will be more expensive for you as compared to an online degree as the cost of online tuition is at times sponsored by universities. Also the overhead costs of regular education for instance commuting and rents etc can go up really high.

Any nursing degree requires clinical experience and online nursing continuing education also lives up to that. They provide all their theoretical material online and arrange for the clinical experience at a medical facility conveniently located to the students. The online nursing school program is a wholesome program much like the regular one but simply has the advantage of not being so taxing and grueling.

In an online nursing continuing education on is provided the facility of accessing the library online as well as keeping in touch with the teachers via online talk and emails. This is very advantageous for the students because their study experience is very interactive then. One gets to interact with a lot of people from diverse backgrounds and thus becomes more worldly wise.

Of course all online nursing continuing education programs can’t have all the benefits of online education together but it is for you to choose a program that caters to your needs. There are plenty of options available to choose from but just make sure that your school that you choose is accredited otherwise all your money and hard work will go waste and you will end up with a worthless degree.

Some schools take in students all the year round and don’t require them to put in schedules from time to time. However there are some schools that do require students to put in schedules in quarters or semesters as on campus students do. These schools are the one that are generally affiliated to the traditional universities.
