It seems inevitable to you now that you would become a nurse. It just maybe wasn’t supposed to happen during a global pandemic, or when you’ve already established yourself in a different career.
The World Health Organization declared 2020 Year of the Nurse but has since extended it to 2021 as the COVID-19 pandemic continues. The world unites in celebration of frontline, essential healthcare workers, such as nurses.
But while everyone else is celebrating, some are also becoming inspired to pursue the impactful work of nursing for themselves.
And it’s a great time to do so.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects there will be about 200,000 openings for registered nurses each year, on average, over the next decade. Openings will most likely increase as seasoned nurses look toward retirement, with over one million nurses expected to retire by 2030. This shortage of medical workers has only been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
And with an average annual salary of about $75,000, nursing proves to be a financially smart, spiritually rewarding career path.
But where do you start with nursing?
The College of St. Scholastica in Duluth, MN has provided over a century of nursing education and the School of Nursing currently offers 8 degree programs, 4 certificate programs, and a nursing assistant training course.
