The nursing profession is a very fulfilling and a very rewarding career. This is even more so if you are a registered nurse. Though nursing graduates can work in the health care setting without a license, there are many advantages to being a registered nurse. Below are a few of them.

Competitive Salary

Salaries of nurses vary from region to region. The average range, however, is from $30,000 to $40,000. Some may even go as high as $70,000 to $90,000. This may even go up to a six-figure income if the nurse has an advanced degree (e.g. Certified Renal Nurse or Certified Nurse Anesthetist). Aside from the salary, registered nurses are also offered various benefits that are worth thousands themselves.

Job Autonomy and Broad Job Responsibilities

When you are licensed to practice your profession, there is no limit to the number of responsibilities that you can do. Unlike a nurse who is not registered, a registered nurse is able to carry out several and significant functions that make a difference in their patients conditions. Examples of such responsibilities are drug administration, carrying out special nursing procedures, documentation, and assisting the physician in medical and surgical procedures. Aside from the obvious broad range of responsibilities given to the registered nurse, he also has the autonomy to do his job. The doctors are the ones who orders for treatments, but the registered nurse has the autonomy to decide whether to carry out those orders or not depending on how he sees his patient’s current status and condition.

Opportunities for Travel

Aside from the above mentioned advantages and benefits, the registered nurse is also presented with several opportunities to travel to other places and to see the world. This is especially true for those working in the travel nursing industry. Aside from medical benefits and a shimmering paycheck, they are also offered with other great benefits like housing, loans, travel expenses and the like.
