Nurses of Today:
Pay & Benefits
Your choice to enter into the Nursing field is filled with endless personal
and professional rewards. As a nurse, you are choosing to spend your life
helping others, using skills that blend scientific knowledge with compassion
and caring. There are only a few professions that can offer such a rewarding
combination of attributes.
Nursing is the largest health care profession with 2.6 million registered
nurses (RNs) and many more needed in the future. As the largest single component
of any hospital staff, nurses are the primary providers of hospital patient care
and also home care.
With the aging population growing steadily, there will be no shortage of jobs
for nurses well into the future. In most parts of the country, the average age
of nurses is growing, meaning that more nurses are retiring, thus furthering the
nursing shortage. As the Baby Boomer-age nurses near retirement, there are fewer
trained nurses there to replace them. This translates into more job opportunities
with the potential of higher starting salaries.
