When completing your annual tax return, you're entitled to claim deductions for some expenses, most of which are directly related to earning your income. You can claim vehicle and other travel expenses directly connected with your work, but you can't claim for normal trips between home and work â this is considered private travel.
In order to become a nurse practitioner, one must first be a registered nurse. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, BLS, (www.bls.gov), nurse practitioner positions are expected to increase by 34% between 2012 and 2022, which is much faster than the national average for all career fields.
The only way to become a nurse practitioner involves earning a master's degree in nursing or higher. Students need to have a bachelor's degree prior to applying to a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program. Although individuals with a bachelor's degree in another field may apply, a BSN is the recommended background.
