We also take a full look at salary treatments for all nursing professions across the country, including places where they pay significant premiums for qualified nurses, such as Alaska.
Entry Level Medical Careers and Salaries
Here, we examine the field of nursing more broadly. Medical careers in general are booming, and this includes all types of actual nurses, such as RNs, LPNs, and CNAs. Administrative medical careers are hot as well, with medical billing and coding specialists able to command premium salaries, along with Health Care Administrators, Physician Assistants, Medical Assistants, and Health Information Specialists.
Obamacare and CNA Salary Impact
Our final piece analyzes the impact the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will have on CNA salaries in the short and mid-term future. We examine how trends in health care costs will likely cause nurses to continue stepping up the levels of direct care they actually provide to patients. This will ensure that both salary and employment trends will remain positive for those in this career for the foreseeable future.
