Financial literacy education resources for nursing students

Nursing is a medical profession. However, despite being in the healthcare field, most nurses often have more responsibilities than a typical healthcare worker. One of these is helping the patient in any way possible, which may come from aiding them with their financial problems. Hospitals don’t come cheap, and often financial resources can be scarce.

Enter financial literacy. Nursing intervention for financial problems is key to making patients feel more at ease. Knowing about these topics is a great help when situations arise. As a nurse, you will be better equipped to help your patients if you have a strong foundation in the subject itself.
