Campus & Online Degrees: Nursing
A nursing shortage is expected to have drastic effects on health care nationwide. "The United States is in the midst of a nursing shortage that is expected to intensify as baby boomers age and the need for health care grows," states the American Association of Colleges of Nursing. A career in registered nursing may be obtained with a diploma, associate degree, or bachelor's degree, progressing to registered nurse certification. Many nurses begin their careers as licensed practical nurses or nursing aides before going back to school to obtain RN certification. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that registered nurses saw average annual earnings of $62,480 in 2007, while licensed practical and vocational nurses earned $38,940.
