Around the globe, growing numbers of nurses are studying and taking courses online. New computer-assisted proctoring technologies are enabling nursing students, trainees and seasoned nurses to take exams at home to earn their degrees and gain their certifications to deliver vital services.
Nursing is currently one of the most in-demand professions in the US, with more than 3.8 million registered nurses employed across various healthcare contexts. For years, distance learning has allowed nurses to enhance their qualifications and fit required certifications into busy schedules.
