Jobs you can do with it
Registered Nurse
Registered nurses assess patients, manage their medications and treatments, and coordinate the care each person receives across a shift.
What else you need
Complete an NMBA-approved entry-to-practice nursing programme and satisfy registration standards before practising. Post-registration or research-only study is not an initial-registration route. This catalogue groups awards: verify the chosen provider, programme and intake; the family-level link is not confirmation that every offering is approved.
Median pay$114,000
In demand
Pay is the median for everyone in the job, and “In demand” means the job is on the national shortage list.
