Interesting........Career Paths for RN's #nursing #RN #careers {infographic}

Interesting information provided from Nursing@Simmons about nurses and career paths. Do you have plans to advance your nursing career, or are you happy at your present level of education? I myself have been seriously contemplating the vision of a MSN eventually. You are never to old to learn or better yourself, it will make a difference in how you feel about yourself and your patient care. 

In the Future of Nursing report  published by the Institute of Medicine, it is recommended that health care facilities throughout the United States increase the proportion of nurses with a BSN to 80 percent and double the number of nurses with a DNP by the year 2020. Research  shows that nurses who are prepared at baccalaureate and graduate degree levels are linked to lower readmission rates, shorter lengths of patient stay, and lower mortality rates in health care facilities.

What does the job market look like for RNs who are looking to advance their careers?

We tackle this question in our latest infographic, “Career Paths for RNs,” where we look in-depth at the three higher education paths RNs can choose from to advance their careers — Bachelor of Science in Nursing,Master of Science in Nursing, and Doctor of Nursing Practice.

For each career path, we outline the various in-demand specialties, salaries, and job outlook.

Thank you to Nursing@Simmons and Carly Dell for this great infographic and information.
