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.
Educational Requirements: As with most advanced practice nurses, most nurse practitioners hold a bachelorâs degree in nursing (BSN) and often are already certified as an RN. The next step is to obtain masterâs level education in nursing with an accredited NP track and area of specialization. NPs typically will specialize with a focus in a particular medical specialty, disease area, or patient population. All of the education must be obtained at an accredited nursing school.
