As a registered nurse working in a hospital, your job is one of the busiest and most stressful of all healthcare positions. You are not only in charge of a number of patients on the floor but the LPNs and Nursing Assistants on your team answer to you as well. Your day is packed with communicating with doctors, talking to patients’ families, discussing treatments with your LPN and Nursing Assistant and, of course, seeing to the care of your patients as well.

You also respond to any queries at the nurses’ station and communicate with support staff as needed. As if that wasn’t enough, you have decided to go for your masters degree in nursing, which can overwhelm you if you don’t find a few ways to make better use of your time. That would be what the Cloud is for and why every online masters degree in nursing program should encourage their students to use  the Cloud when pursuing an advanced nursing degree.

 

Simplifying Organizational Skills


If you weren’t already organized, you probably wouldn’t have made it through to that bachelor’s degree in nursing to become an RN. However, the Cloud can simplify literally everything you do because you can keep your notes and assignments in the Cloud to be accessed no matter where you are or how much time you have to study.
 
Enhancing the Ability to Collaborate with Others


Over time, you will undoubtedly be assigned projects that will entail collaborating with other students. Working in the Cloud is perhaps the easiest way of ‘meeting’ with other students because no one needs to travel to pick up materials or drop off what they have been doing as their share of the work. From keeping notes to leaving files so that they can be accessed by everyone on your team, the Cloud forms the basis for effective collaboration.
 
Seemingly Routine Tasks Made Easy


Then there are all those tasks that ‘should’ be a piece of cake but somehow Murphy’s Law always seems to take over. Your printer runs out of ink at the last minute so you run down to the local print shop only to find they don’t open until after your paper is due in class. By keeping everything in the Cloud you could always quickly run by the hospital or a friend’s home to connect, collect and print.
 
What about power outages that have been known to cause you to lose all that work you’ve been doing over the past several weeks? By working in the Cloud and saving your files there, you can call them up as needed and never worry that a power surge or outage at home can cause you to lose invaluable time, time you just don’t have.
 
Finally, a Dream Come True


They say that the Cloud is the future of higher education and for these reasons and so many more, that is probably an apt conclusion. If you are a busy RN seeking to advance your career with online nursing programs, you can rest assured that the Cloud is going to be where you spend most of your time away from the hospital – a virtual dream come true.
