Commonly asked questions
While salary can vary depending on location, nursing degree, experience, and facility, some of the highest-paying Nursing Specialties include Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs), Nurse Practitioners (NPs), and travel nurses.
There's no inherent "easy" nursing profession or clinical nurse specialty, but Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) generally require less education and training compared to Registered Nurses (RNs). However, career advancement opportunities might be more limited within LPN roles.
The time it takes to become a nurse specialist depends on your existing qualifications and chosen specialty. For example, an RN transitioning to a Nurse Practitioner role might require an additional 2-3 years of Master's degree education.
