15 highest-paying jobs in nursing

It’s tough out there to be a nurse. According to a new survey of 20,000 RNS from AMN Healthcare, nurses don’t get enough with patients and are often threatened with violence in the workplace. “From everything we know, this next decade will be extremely challenging for the nursing profession and healthcare in general, with serious workforce issues facing healthcare organizations at a time when many nurses are already experiencing tremendous pressure,” Cole Edmonson, chief clinical officer at AMN Healthcare said in a statement.

However, though it is tough, the job opportunities in nursing are immense.  The registered nurse workforce is projected to grow by 15% over the next 10 years, especially since so many Baby Boomers will be retiring.

So which companies are hiring for $100K  jobs in nursing the most? Ladders put together a list of the 15 companies hiring the most $100K+ jobs currently in this exciting field using data from its continuously updated database of high-paying jobs.
