Registered nurses (RN) require more education in the form of a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, an ADN or a specialized diploma, along with the passing of the NCLEX-RN examination. The demand for RNs is projected to remain high, with a projected job growth of 19% between now, and 2022.

Nurse practitioners, nurse anesthetists, and nurse midwives require a minimum of a Master’s degree, or a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree. Licensure requirements vary by state, and specialty. These specialized positions boast high median salaries, and excellent projected job growth rates from 25% – 34%. 

The healthcare industry continues to grow, as does the need for highly qualified nurses. You can join this burgeoning industry, or update your skills to a specialization by earning an advanced nursing degree through an accredited program.

The illustration below touches on the career of LPNs, RNs, nurse practitioners, nurse anesthetists and nurse midwives. It takes an in-depth look at things like education, licensing, job growth and salary ranges among all the possible nursing paths.
