RN (Staff Nurse)

As the general population continues to age and the health care system expands, job opportunities for staff nurses will be excellent. In addition, the salary of a nurse varies between $50,000 to $65,000 per year depending on the employer and the nurse’s experience, making nursing a great career. Registered staff nurses work in hospitals and clinics helping patients with a variety of medical conditions and illnesses. While nursing is a stable career that can be very rewarding, nurses work in stressful environments and have to work long shifts at sometimes odd hours.

To become a RN, a candidate must either complete a Bachelor’s Degree in nursing, or complete an Associate's or nurse certification program. Next, a candidate must pass a national examination to receive the title of a Registered Nurse. An RN with a Bachelor’s Degree may have better opportunities for advancement within the profession than one who receives an Associate's Degree or nursing diploma.
