What Is Nursing Excellence? By Margaret Ort, RN, MSN, BSN, CEN. On the eve of Nurses Day, I thought it incumbent upon all of us as professional nurses to revisit for a moment the idea of excellence in nursing practice.

Diploma in Nursing. A Diploma in Nursing or Nursing Diploma is an entry-level tertiary education nursing credential. In the United States, this diploma is usually awarded by hospital-based nursing schools. Students awarded a Diploma in Nursing are qualified to take the NCLEX-RN exam and apply for licensure as a Registered Nurse. At one time, all nurses in the United States were diploma-prepared. The Cherry Ames series of children's books was created to encourage girls to go into the nursing profession during World War II. She was a hospital diploma nurse. Although the number of hospital-based nursing schools continues to decrease, many still exist.
