There are nearly 4.3 million actively licensed registered nurses (RNs) in the United States, and they help make nursing the single largest healthcare profession in the country. RN jobs are in demand in a wide variety of work environments, from hospitals to ambulatory healthcare centers to skilled nursing facilities and beyond. There are many employment opportunities for registered nurses right here on Credenza.

If you're pursuing an RN job, now is a great time to start looking. RN nursing positions are projected to grow by 5% over the next decade, an increase of about 189,100 jobs.

Whether you're searching for openings in acute facilities or post-acute facilities, you'll find the latest jobs for registered nurses right here.

Education and Skills for Registered Nurse Jobs

An RN is a highly skilled role in the nursing profession requiring the ability to think critically, retain information, communicate clearly, and give patients the empathy and care they need through their toughest times.

To begin your path to become a registered nurse, you must earn either an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) or a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree. Note that employers tend to favor candidates with a BSN vs. ADN. Next, you will need to pass the NCLEX-RN exam and apply for an RN license with your state board of nursing.

Nursing is a profession that encourages and even requires lifelong learning. Additional credentialing such as specialty RN certifications can help you increase your skills and even your pay. Obtaining continuing education credits is not simply a way to advance your career, but it’s also necessary to maintain your nursing license. Check with your state board of nursing for requirements unique to your license.

Where in the country you work also plays a role. RN jobs' salary expectations vary not just by geography, but by the need in that geography. That’s why jobs for registered nurses in Hawaii have higher annual salaries than in Illinois or Texas. These are the highest-paying states for RNs:
