More than ever, there is a need for educated, experienced nurses to assume senior management and leadership positions in healthcare systems, at other organizations, even in government.
As a Registered Nurse, you already have the key qualities and values that form the basis of leadership.
Now it is time to learn the management techniques and business skills that will help you be an even more effective leader. And it all begins by earning your Master of Science in Nursing degree with the RN to MSN- Nurse Executive track at NMC.
Nursing salaries for nurse executives vary widely in the U.S. and are based upon many factors including geography, job description, specialty and experience. The Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates the median salary in May 2019 in the United States for Medical and Health Services Managers was $100,980 ($48.55 per hour), with a much faster than average projected job growth of 32 percent between 2019 and 2029.
