After the career investigation project, I have chosen to be a registered nurse. Ever since I was young, my parents encouraged me to study hard and aim high so I could become a doctor. Unfortunately, the path to becoming a doctor is long and strenuous and I wish to do more than just study for an added 15 years. I wish to travel and take time off for myself to cultivate the person I want to be, and so, I think this occupation is suitable for me.

New full time RNs can expect to earn around $44,000 and with experience, they can earn twice as much as what they started with. Managers or administrators, on the other hand, generally earn more because they have a higher education level and more experience. On the topic of managers and administrators, there is a sample career path a nurse can use to upgrade their positions. A step above being a registered nurse is a head nurse. They require several years of training and experience and possibly a master’s degree. The highest level, an educator, definitely requires a master’s degree. They educate nurses and staff members and can earn up to $90,000 a year. Full time RNs have paid holidays, dental and vision insurance, health and retirement benefits. My experience as a nurse will vary with my education, position, and location of my
