Nursing Masters Prospects

Since the recession, healthcare has been the single biggest sector for job growth. The economic rebound has seen continued industry growth, in fact, as the demand for professionals with campus-based or online nursing masters swells to unprecedented heights. In 2013, a significant percentage of nurses over age 50 will leave the industry now (after having put off retirement for several years due to financial concerns).  US News reports that by location, the highest paid nursing positions are clustered throughout areas of Northern California.

Whether your endeavor is in organizational leadership, communication, an online master’s degree in nursing or any of our other available master degree programs, studies continue to prove the benefit of a master’s degree. Master’s degree graduates starting salaries are found to be significantly higher than starting salaries of those with bachelor’s degrees.
