Job Outlook
Employment of registered nurses is projected to grow 5 percent from 2024 to 2034, faster than average for all occupations.
There are more career options for registered nurses who have a BSN than those without the degree. Nurses with a BSN are more likely to work in specialty units such as oncology, intensive care units, flight nurses, leadership and management roles. Students with a BSN are better prepared to pursue Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) and Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) degrees.
Job Potential Earnings
The median annual wage for registered nurses was $93,600 in May 2024. The median salary for Nurse Manager/Supervisor was $117,960.
