You might be worried about cost, time commitment to school, potential job prospects\u2026 we understand, there\u2019s a lot to consider. Good thing we\u2019ve done all of that for you! Here, we\u2019ll tell you why an MSN degree is so beneficial, and how it can help you achieve your personal and professional goals as nurse.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Higher Earning Potential<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/ooh\/healthcare\/registered-nurses.htm\">Bureau of Labor Statistics<\/a>, as of 2018, registered nurses made an average of $71k annually. That\u2019s around $34 an hour! Congratulations if you\u2019ve already earned your BSN and you work as a registered nurse. However, if you consider the trade-off of attending a 20-month, part-time master\u2019s program, and earning close to (or more than) six figures annually, it\u2019s impossible to ignore the advantage of an MSN degree.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the Bridgeport, Stamford, and Norwalk areas of Connecticut make the top-10 list of highest paying metropolitan areas for the advanced practice nurse occupation, as well as nurse managers and administrators in the field. With an MSN degree, you can land one of these careers in Connecticut and earn upwards of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/oes\/current\/oes_71950.htm#29-0000\">$140k<\/a> per year.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>A Bright Job Outlook<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Now that you know what a healthy MSN paycheck can be, you\u2019re probably asking yourself, \u201c<em>But will I actually be able to get a job once I earn my MSN?\u201d<\/em> The answer is yes. First off, you might be aware that the RN employment growth rate is rising at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/ooh\/healthcare\/registered-nurses.htm#tab-6\">12%<\/a>, or faster than average. Most jobs in the United States are growing at a 5% rate, so certainly this sounds like a great statistic. Until you hear this next one! The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/ooh\/healthcare\/nurse-anesthetists-nurse-midwives-and-nurse-practitioners.htm#tab-6\">advanced nursing job growth rate is 26%<\/a>, and much faster than average. Consider that you can more than double your job outlook advantage with further education, like getting your MSN.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>Qualification for More Advanced Roles<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>You didn\u2019t become a nurse because you wanted a laid-back, boring career. So why not get the most out of it? MSN-educated nurses can work in a variety of exciting settings, such as physician\u2019s offices, general medical and surgical hospitals, and outpatient care centers. In these environments, the demand for Nurse Anesthetist or Nurse Midwife is high, as well as more \u201cbehind-the-scenes,\u201d research and leadership-oriented roles, like Clinical Nurse Leader, Nurse Administrator, Nurse Educator, or Nurse Informaticist.<\/p>\n<p>The American Association of Colleges of Nursing conducted research of nursing school graduates to find out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aacnnursing.org\/News-Information\/Research-Data-Center\/Employment\/2017\">rates of nursing job placement upon graduation<\/a>, and found that, at the time of graduation for BSN graduates, that rate was 73%. Meanwhile for MSN graduates, it rose to 78%. Another key point is that this survey found little variation regardless of the type of program attended\u2014private or public school, small school, big school\u2014none of that made a difference! It\u2019s safe to conclude that higher education in the healthcare field influences hiring decisions in a positive way.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong>An Investment in Your Future<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>It\u2019s no secret that nursing is a physical occupation. You\u2019re on your feet all day, you bend and squat, you push around equipment, and aid patients in rising, bathing, dressing, et cetera. As you advance your nursing career, you\u2019ll do less of the physical stuff. You\u2019ll benefit from advantages like working a more regular office schedule, instead of third or graveyard shifts, and (if you prefer) providing specialized bedside care instead of basic care. It might even make it easier to tend to your family or other personal obligations, providing a more holistic work\/life balance. You may not be surprised to learn that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aanp.org\/about\/all-about-nps\/np-fact-sheet\">average age for advanced practice nurses in the U.S.<\/a> is 49 years. Earning an MSN degree will help secure your place in the healthcare profession for the long run. Even if you like being in the emergency or operating room now, earning your MSN now will help you qualify for leadership and administrative roles, giving you the flexibility to shift your role down the road.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><strong>Career Fulfillment<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>You\u2019ve likely gone into nursing because it\u2019s something that you\u2019re passionate about. You enjoy the pace and helping others, but you should also know that you\u2019re making a major contribution to society. Continuing your education will allow you to improve this field that you care so much for. Help produce cutting-edge research, allow your department to innovate with new technology, educate the next generation of aspiring nurses. These are a few reasons why you might want to get your MSN degree, but we\u2019re sure you have your own personal goals in mind.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li><strong>There\u2019s No Time Like the Present<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>No one ever says they regretted starting something earlier\u2014just like the saying goes, there really is no time like the present! Big life choices can be hard to make because they guarantee change, and change can be difficult. Don\u2019t let change be a roadblock for your career, especially if you take a good look at the benefits. An exciting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/majors\/msn\/curriculum\">curriculum<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/majors\/msn\/flexibility\">flexible online schedule<\/a> (which allows you to study on your own time while continuing to work) are just a couple of positive reasons to get to it. Once you start earning your master\u2019s degree, you can level-up your career in as few as 20 months!<\/p>\n<p>To learn more, please call Goodwin College at 800-889-3282, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/landingpages\/msn\">visit us online<\/a>.
