Nurse
The healthcare system is in the midst of a boom, and nurses are among those to benefit the most. Nurses assist physicians in examining patients and administering treatments. As medical care facilities become more impacted, nurses are increasingly called upon to act independently and perform a wider range of tasks. The learning curve is high, and opportunities for advancement abound for qualified candidates.
Job Growth: 29%
Median Pay: $59,800
Education Requirements: Qualification for nursing includes an associate's degree and RN certification, at minimum. Registered nurses who go on to a Bachelor or Master of Science in Nursing (BSN, MSN) or a master's in master's in healthcare administration will have their pick of nursing career options: patient care, case management, or healthcare administration.
