5 Benefits of Hospital Nursing Jobs

A large workforce: Because hospitals employ so many teams of people, the opportunities for collaboration and mentorship are plentiful.

Good salary: According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average annual salary for registered nurses (RNs) is $98,430, but that figure depends on a number of things, including the type of employer. An RN in a physician's office makes an average $85,860 per year, but an RN in a general medical and surgical hospital makes an average $101,060 per year.

Competitive benefits package: In addition to a solid salary, hospitals also tend to offer more comprehensive benefits, including family leave, life insurance, and medical insurance. Certain hospitals may even offer tuition reimbursement in order to support your career growth.

Room to grow: Hospitals hire all levels of healthcare professionals, which means there are opportunities for you to expand your career path and establish a good professional reputation while maintaining the same employer.

Access to technology: Large healthcare systems are on the cutting edge of medical innovations, which means you'll get to work with the latest technologies and tools — things that smaller facilities don't have access to.
