It depends. The direction you take in your nursing career will influence how much you earn. Salary ranges can vary widely depending on a number of factors, including your education, certifications, additional skills, number of years spent practicing, geographic location, and place of employment.
Nurses find positions in a wide variety of settings, doing a wide variety of tasks. If you want to take your career in nursing to the next level, consider furthering your education. An MSN degree program can prepare you with the advanced skills needed to pursue roles in leadership, nursing education, informatics, or public health, or to pursue certification and credentialing as a nurse practitioner.
