It’s never too late to advance or even begin your career in nursing. If COVID-19 has taught the world anything, it’s that healthcare workers will always be the heroes of our global story. And it’s never been a better time to explore the opportunities that a career in healthcare offers.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates an average of 200,000 positions for registered nurses will open each year over the next decade. Additionally, a recent study found that over one million nurses are expected to retire by 2030. The demand for medical workers has only been made increasingly dire by the COVID-19 pandemic. And with an average annual salary of about $75k, nursing proves to be a financially smart and stable career path.
