Nursing is a career that is jam-packed with experiences, some pleasant, some not – but certainly all rewarding. Those in this type of healthcare field may eventually decide to pursue a career in nursing education, administration or management. This is where MSN programs in Wyoming come in; they prepare registered nurses for advancement within the field.
With an MSN, individuals can pursue several career advancements – from nursing administrators to educators. Salary will be dependent upon several things, including the exact career path chosen and the location within the state of Wyoming. For instance, the annual median salary of nursing instructors and teachers was $63,150 in May of 2012 according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The annual median salary for a nurse practitioner (another career path available to those holding an MSN) was $86,480.
While the pay will certainly differ depending upon your specialty, the highest paid MSN-degree holders are clinical nurse specialists, clinical nurse managers and advanced registered nurse practitioners.
