Nursing Career Paths: Degrees & Nursing Levels Explained

Nursing is an extremely diverse career field with endless options for advancement, specializations, and opportunities to  change nursing careers .

There's no right way to become a nurse. However, the sheer number of options can be intimidating to aspiring nurses. This article will break down the most common nursing career paths, including the differences in nursing levels, requirements, benefits, and disadvantages of each. 

Read on to find a nursing career path that suits your needs and goals.

Why Nursing Is An Excellent Career Path

Nurses are in high demand. According to the  BLS , in 2022, there were 3,172,500 registered nurses in the United States. By 2032, there will be a need for an additional 177,400 nurses , which is an expected growth of 6%.

As the U.S. population continues to age, these numbers may see a rapid increase over time. Therefore, nurses should never have trouble finding work.

Pathways into Nursing

While there are different degree programs you can choose, becoming a nurse is ultimately about what type of license you have. For example, nurses with associate's and bachelor's degrees take the same NCLEX exam to earn RN licensure.

Check out the graphic below for the differences between the 4 primary pathways into nursing. 

Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA)

A certified nursing assistant, or CNA, helps patients with activities of daily living and other healthcare needs. They work under the supervision of an RN or LPN. 

Pros and Cons of Becoming a CNA

Because the training process to become a CNA is just 4-12 weeks, it’s a great way for individuals to get their first experience in nursing and determine if they want to further their career to become an LPN or RN .

Many CNAs are already in a nursing school program and use this career as a chance to learn more about the healthcare world and gain additional real-world application and knowledge.

CNAs: earn your RN degree in up to 1/2 the time and cost of traditional programs with Achieve Test Prep's "Nursing Test-Out Program". All applicants must be a CNA to apply.

Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)

An LPN license provides a nurse with a functioning nursing license, but in many states, an LPN is more limited in the care he or she can provide than an RN. For example, an LPN may not be able to deliver certain types of medications, so their work opportunities may be more restricted.

Pros and Cons of Becoming an LPN

Becoming an LPN can be a desirable choice for many looking to fast-track into the nursing field because you can achieve your LPN degree sometimes much faster than an RN degree.

You can get your LPN credentials in 12 to 15 months if you choose a diploma-based program. With an associate's program, you will become an LPN in about 18 to 24 months.

>> Related: RN vs LPN: What's the Difference?

As an LPN, you earn significantly less than a registered nurse. According to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, the average pay for an LPN in the United States is $54,620 per year or $26.26 per hour, while RNs earn on average $81,220.

But, there are LPN-to-RN bridge programs available if you choose to go the LPN route and want to advance your education to become an RN down the road.

LPNs: Achieve's Test-Out Bridge Program makes achieving your BSN faster and more affordable, and previous college credits will count toward your advanced degree. All applicants must be current LVN or LPN.

Registered Nurse (RN)

Becoming an RN is the gold standard in nursing. There are three main ways to become an RN: 

1. Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN): You can become an RN by attending a bachelor's program through a university. Upon completion of the program, you will earn a BSN and take the NCLEX exam to earn RN licensure.

2. Associate’s Degree in Nursing (ADN): Similar to a BSN, you will earn your associate’s degree from an accredited program. Then, you'll take the same NCLEX to earn your RN credentials.

3. RN diploma program: Diploma programs are harder to find than ADN and BSN nursing programs. They're based on clinical hours and prepare you to take the NCLEX, which will award you an RN license.

Earning an ADN: Pros & Cons

Earning an ADN is preferable to many aspiring nurses because it's one of the  fastest ways to become a nurse . It's also cheaper than a BSN degree, which is beneficial to students on tight budgets. However, the ADN route does have its downsides.

Finding Employment

For example, many ADN nurses have a harder time finding employment despite their RN license. Most employers prefer BSN-RNs and will pass on ADN candidates. However, you should also be aware that some employers will sponsor ADN nurses to attend a BSN program while working.

Career Advancement

Additionally, only holding an ADN can make advancing your career more difficult. Most advanced practice registered nursing (APRN) programs require students to have a BSN. So, if you want to become a certified nurse midwife, nurse practitioner, or certified registered nurse anesthetist, you'll have to attend an  RN to BSN bridge program first.

Salary Differences

Finally, ADN-RNs earn less than their BSN counterparts. Payscale reports that ADN nurses earn $76,000 annually, while BSN nurses make around $92,000.

Earning a BSN: Pros & Cons

The American Association of Colleges of Nurses encourages a Bachelor of Science in Nursing as the minimum education requirement for RNs. Nursing and healthcare organizations consider a BSN the gold standard for RNs. In fact, an increasing number of facilities will only hire BSN-trained RNs, especially magnet and major teaching hospitals.

BSN Degree Cost

Forbes Advisor reports that BSN degrees cost between $20,000 and $100,000 in tuition alone. But, students can expect to incur additional fees for housing, meals, books, fees, and more.

Several factors will impact how much your BSN degree costs. These variables include whether you attend school part or full-time, your location, whether you attend a public or private university, and your residential status.

However, these costs don't always reflect what you actually pay. Remember that paying for nursing school is a combination of out-of-pocket costs, financial aid, scholarships, and government grants.

BSN Degree Paths

Students have three options for earning a BSN degree. The most common route is attending a traditional 4-year baccalaureate program. These programs offer two years of  nursing school prerequisites and general education, followed by two years of nursing and clinical training.

However, there are further options for ADN nurses and those with non-nursing degrees to earn a BSN. The three paths to this degree are as follows:

Advancing Your Nursing Education

Nurses looking to increase their salary and career opportunities can do so by earning an advanced degree. 

Master of Science in Nursing (MSN)

As more job opportunities for MSN-trained nurses become available, the popularity of MSN programs skyrockets. If you're interested in non-direct patient care nursing positions, you'll most likely need a  Master of Science in Nursing degree.

Earning an MSN: Pros & Cons

MSN nurses are eligible for higher nursing positions with greater responsibility and autonomy. If they take on an APRN, education, or administrative role, MSN nurses often also earn higher salaries than ADN or BSN-trained RNs.

The BLS reports that APRNs earn a median annual salary of $125,900 or $60.53 per hour. But, your chosen specialty will affect how much you earn. Median annual salaries for different MSN nurse roles include the following:

  • Certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA) : $203,090
  • Certified nurse midwife (CNM) : $120,880
  • Nurse practitioner (NP) : $121,610
  • Nurse administrator : $104,830 
  • Nurse educator : $78,580

MSN programs are available online or in person, but they can be costly. Forbes Advisor reports that MSN programs can range from $24,000 to $80,000, with the most expensive programs exceeding $100,000.

Types of MSN Degrees

  • A non-clinical MSN degree is most suitable for nurses who are looking for management, administrative, leadership, or educator roles.
  • An APRN MSN is the type of degree you would choose if you are looking to become an advanced practitioner, like NPs, CNMs, and CRNAs.

Depending on the MSN program you select, you can take on the following nursing roles:

  • Clinical nurse leaders
  • Nurse practitioners
  • Certified nurse midwives
  • Clinical nurse specialists
  • Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists
  • Nurse administrators
  • Nurse educators
  • Nurse informatics

Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP)

Doctors of nursing practice are leaders in advanced nursing practice who bring evidence-based knowledge to clinical settings. They work to improve healthcare outcomes and strengthen nursing leadership in clinical and academic environments. DNPs can have the same APRN roles as MSN nurses, but many work in research, academia, or as administrators.

Earning a DNP: Pros & Cons

There are several benefits to earning a DNP, which include knowledge expansion, greater career satisfaction, and higher salaries. However, these programs are expensive, so weighing the pros and cons of earning a DNP is necessary.

DNP nurses can function as providers or work in APRN roles, but most work to generate new clinical knowledge for nursing and healthcare fields. DNP-trained APRNs don't have more authority or a wider scope of practice than MSN nurses. Additionally, they rarely conduct scientific research or teach.

More often, DNPs work as researchers, administrators, and educators. Therefore, if you want to remain in a direct patient care APRN role, earning a DNP may not be worth it to you.

DNP nurses make $117,859 per year, which is $57 an hour, according to reports from  ZipRecruiter . Payscale estimates a similar average salary of  $111,000  a year or $55.13 an hour.

Earning your DNP does not come cheap. Forbes advisor reports that DNP programs cost between $10,000 and $100,000 depending on the school you attend, your residential status, and whether you go full or part-time.

Alternative Nursing Career Paths

Nursing is a complex and ever-changing profession that provides individuals with countless job opportunities. Most know about pediatric, medical-surgical, operating room, and even hospice nursing.

However, there are less popular but still exciting career paths for nurses:

  • Forensic Nurse  
  • Legal Nurse Consultant  
  • Wound Care Nurse  
  • Cardiac Cath Lab Nurse

How to Decide Which Nursing Career Path

Though becoming a nurse may be your dream, it can also be a formidable task. There are hundreds of programs and several nursing career paths to take. Before starting on your journey, ask yourself:

  • Do I want to advance my career upon graduation and become a CRNA or CRNP?
  • How will I pay for this program?
  • Will I be working throughout the program?
  • Will I go to school part-time or full-time?
  • Can I move away from home for undergraduate school?

Determining what your goals are for nursing will help narrow down the choices.  Nursing is a fulfilling and amazing career- regardless of the path chosen, becoming a nurse is an amazing accomplishment.

FAQs on Career Presentation

What should be included in a career presentation.

A compelling career presentation begins with a captivating introduction, often a personal story or relevant industry example. It should provide insight into your unique career journey, highlighting milestones, challenges, and successes. Articulate your career goals and their alignment with your values and passions.

Share your core skills, competencies, and educational background, showcasing how your experiences have shaped your path. Delve into your work history, emphasizing key roles, projects, and lessons learned. Express your commitment to continuous learning and professional growth. 

Address challenges you've encountered, demonstrating resilience and problem-solving skills. Outline your vision for the future, describing the impact you aspire to make and the steps you plan to take.

Throughout, offer practical advice and insights based on your experiences. Use visuals, multimedia, and interactive elements to engage your audience. Summarize key takeaways, invite questions, and foster meaningful dialogue.

What is the purpose of the career presentation?

The purpose of a career presentation transcends the mere dissemination of information; it is a powerful opportunity to inspire, guide, and connect. At its core, a career presentation is a beacon illuminating the path ahead. A career presentation goes beyond the boundaries of a resume or LinkedIn profile. It’s a platform to share personal narratives, lessons learned, and the invaluable wisdom accrued over time. It encapsulates the spirit of mentorship, offering insights and advice that can shape the trajectory of others' careers. In essence, the purpose of a career presentation is to illuminate, motivate, and connect. It's an instrument of empowerment, a catalyst for growth, and a testament to the belief that each career is a unique and evolving narrative waiting to be written.

What is career life cycle?

The career life cycle is a dynamic and multifaceted journey that everyone embarks upon, characterized by distinct phases of growth, learning, and transformation. This unique trajectory defies a one-size-fits-all approach, as it is deeply influenced by personal aspirations, external opportunities, and the evolving professional landscape. It starts with the exploration phase. This is a period of self-discovery, where individuals identify their passions, strengths, and career preferences. It's a time of educational pursuits, skill acquisition, and the cultivation of foundational knowledge. As the journey progresses, the establishment phase unfolds. Here, individuals enter the workforce, building their reputation, and gaining practical experience.

The career life cycle then enters the expansion phase, characterized by the pursuit of new challenges and opportunities. Individuals may explore career paths, industries, or entrepreneurial ventures. It’s a phase, where innovation and adaptability emerge as the driving force. Finally, the culmination phase marks the twilight of one's active career.

How to do Nursing Presentations like a Pro

July 19, 2012 by rose

By Rose O. Sherman, EdD, RN, FAAN

“Be sincere; be brief, be seated .” ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt, on speechmaking

presentation on nursing career

One of my students recently told me that she had a great fear of public speaking.  She was scheduled as part of a leadership practicum to give a formal presentation to a leadership team on a project that she had recently completed.  This student is certainly not alone in feeling anxious about doing a formal presentation.  Yet this is a critical skill for nurse leaders, who often have to present their ideas or new initiatives to staff or higher levels of management.  Leadership is all about communication.  An effective presentation can have a very positive impact in helping you as a leader to achieve your goals.

The 10 following tips will help you to give presentations like a pro:

1.  Begin with the end in mind

Prior to preparing your presentation, you should develop about 3-4 goals/objectives.  Most presenters either seek to inform or motivate an audience.  Ask yourself what you would like your audience to know as an outcome of your presentation.  A second key question is whether there is something you would like the audience to do differently as a result of your presentation.   Your goals should guide how you develop your presentation.  This guidance is important whether you are doing a 10 minute presentation to staff nurses, a one hour presentation to a professional group or a budget presentation to senior management.  When you state your goals at the beginning of your presentation, your audience has a clear idea about what to expect and it will guide how they listen to your content.

2.  Consider your target audience

One size does not fit all with presentations.  Understanding your target audience is very important.  Ask yourself how much background your audience has regarding your topic.  Should the presentation be a beginner level or more advanced.  Is your audience large or small.  What is their motivation for attending your presentation?

3.  Think carefully about how to present the content

The use of power point slides by speakers has become quite common.  Slides can be a very effective way of communicating, but they are not the only way.  For very short presentations ,where you have strict time limits, the use of technology can waste valuable time.  A short handout is often more effective.  If you do use slides, don’t cram too much material into your slides.  Use large fonts (30 points or more).  Choose the color of the background and content wisely so they can be read from a distance.

4.  Don’t read your slides – elaborate on them

The purpose of your slides should be to illustrate your key points.  Don’t be a slave to your slides.  Audiences lose interest when speakers stand up and read their slides verbatim.  If you are running out of time with your presentation, it is important to skip slides if needed to focus on your key points.  Always proof read your slides for spelling, grammar and content errors.

5.  Use story to illustrate a key point

The use of story  can be very powerful to both engage the audience and to help you make key points.  Story is not appropriate in every situation.  If you are a nurse leader giving a budget presentation to senior management, your presentation will need to be less emotional and more factual.

6.  Get the audience involved

The most successful presenters find ways to involve their audience. People like opportunity to react to presentations and express their viewpoints.  A great way to do this is to ask questions of your audience during the presentation such as:  How many of you have experience with this?,  Have you found this to be true in your experience working with your patients?,  Does this resonate or do you have a different viewpoint about what we are discussing?   Using interactive case scenarios to help teach key points can be very effective especially with smaller groups.

7.  Practice your presentation prior to giving it

Rehearsing your presentation in advance will help you to gain confidence as a presenter.  If you have an important presentation, you might want to consider asking one or more professional colleagues to sit through a rehearsal and give you feedback.  If you are using slides, you will want to take the time to go through your slides at least three times.  This will help you to become very comfortable with the content, and you will be less likely to read your slides.

8.  Dress to give you confidence and for the audience

First impressions are very important.  If you want to present yourself as an authority, you need to look the part.  This will also boost your confidence in yourself.  As a general rule of thumb, you should dress slightly better than your audience.

9.  Less is More

For most presentations, you will have a limited time frame to present your ideas.  Many presenters overwhelm their audiences with too much information.  This is ineffective.  Stick to your key points and be sure to leave 5-10 minutes for audience reaction and questions.  Be respectful of the audience’s time and don’t exceed the time you have been given to do the presentation.

10. Debrief with an attendee after the presentation

Doing presentations like a pro is a learned skill. You can learn a great deal by watching effective speakers.  You can also learn from either having yourself taped, or by asking a trusted attendee for feedback.  Even the most experienced speakers can exhibit ticks and tendencies that interfere with their presentations.  It is important that you are aware of any habits that could interfere with effective communication during your presentation.   If attendees formally evaluate your presentation, ask for a summary of the evaluations.  This will help you to learn what you have done well and areas for improvement.

With preparation and practice, you can learn to do presentations like a pro.  Accept the challenge when you are given the opportunity to present.  You will grow as leader and become influential with your colleagues.

Pump up your PowerPoint® presentations

As nurses , we use our education skills to deliver health messages every day. We teach patients about specific diseases or interventions in clinical settings. We advise colleagues on how to use new technology. And we serve as preceptors to nursing students or novice nurses.

But while one-on-one teaching may come naturally to us, giving a gripping visual presentation may be a challenge. We’ve all seen PowerPoint® presentations. Some are so engaging that time flies from the instant they begin to the moment we exit. But in others, the presenter fails to engage the audience, leaving session objectives unmet—and leaving audience members counting the minutes until the presentation ends.

Using engagement strategies combats boring presentations and keeps the audience attentive. These strategies turn passive audience members into active participants of the interactive discussion. We’re moving away from traditional lecture formats where a “talking head” delivers information to deposit into others’ brains. Promoting interactivity, encouraging questions, and using visual aids in an interesting way are more effective strategies for delivering content and helping the audience understand it. Similarly, using multiple teaching strategies lends itself to individuals with different learning styles.

PowerPoint software can transform simple words on a single slide into a captivating, dynamic presentation. This article discusses specific PowerPoint features to consider using for your next presentation.

Keep slide design simple

After you complete the outline for your presentation, you’ll need to choose a slide background or design. A simple design is ideal. Busy backgrounds can interfere with the text and images you add to the slide. Use dark-colored text with a light background, or vice versa. Also, use transitions to add a progressive effect when moving from one slide to the next.

Avoid too many animations on any one slide, as this can distract the audience. If you want to use animations, use the same type for all slides. For example, don’t have text “fly” in from the bottom of one slide, then from the top on the next slide, then from the left, and so on. Choose one type of animation and stick to it.

Write succinct titles

Titles help readers visualize a road map for the “journey” of your presentation. Keep titles short and concise, using no more than a few words. If you’re using graphics, charts, or graphs, your titles should highlight the main focus.

Use transition slides

Usually, transitions to new content are presented orally. But you can also use “title” slides, containing only the title of the next section. Besides signaling the audience that you’re moving on to a new topic, these slides remind you to bring closure to the previous topic.

Choose a readable font

Choose a clean font for readability. Font size should be large enough so people at the back of the room can read all the copy on the slide. Font color should be black or another dark color to contrast the light background—or if you’ve opted for a dark background, use a white font. Avoid yellow, red, and orange fonts because they can be hard to read.

Stick to the 6-by-6 rule

Think back to the last presentation you sat through. Was there too much text on the slides? Did the presenter read the text verbatim rather than let the presentation serve as an outline? To avoid this mistake in your presentations, follow the 6-by-6 rule: On any given slide, use no more than six bullet points and no more than six words per bulleted statement.

State the objectives

To better engage your audience, share your learning goals with them. Specify exactly what they should learn by the end of your presentation. Objectives are statements that set goals. To write objectives, start with an action verb and end with a content statement; for example: “Describe needle lengths for different types of injections.” The objective starts with the action verb “Describe” and ends with the content statement “needle lengths for different types of injections.” For each objective, tell the audience how you will meet it. When you come to the end of your presentation, you can use these objectives to evaluate how much the audience learned.

Use graphics effectively

When teaching patients, nurses typically use handouts, pictures, or demonstrations based on the patient’s learning style (visual, auditory, or kinesthetic) and learning needs based on age, reading level, and language. Using graphics captures most learning styles and needs.

Put a graphic on most slides to illustrate the point you’re trying to make. Limit graphics to one per slide to help your audience focus on what you have to say as you refer to that image. If you want to call attention to a specific part of the image, you can add an arrow, shape, or textbox. (See Replacing text with images by clicking the PDF icon above.) Be aware that PowerPoint has a feature called SmartArt, which converts text into linear, progressive, or circular visual aids.

Keep in mind that charts and graphs are a great way to present statistics. For example, you can show percentages with a pie chart or depict trends over time with a line graph.

Vary your teaching strategy

During your interactive presentation, vary your teaching strategy every 10 minutes. To do this, you can use links to websites, videos, or games. For example, share a short YouTube video to add a visual and auditory component.

Another way to vary your strategy is to post a discussion question on a slide and take responses from the audience, or give them a group activity to work on, with activity instructions shown on the slide. Polls are another way to engage the audience. Although normally placed at the beginning of the presentation, polls can be useful anywhere. You can post a question on a slide and ask the audience to raise their hands in response to each answer option. Or you can add true/false, multiple-choice, or fill-in-the-blank questions throughout your presentation to evaluate learning. That way, you can get immediate feedback on the audience’s understanding of the content you’ve presented.

Use online tools if appropriate

If you wish to include an online interactive tool in your presentation, make sure your computer or tablet is connected to the Internet to access those resources. Also, share additional credible and reliable resources on your reference page so audience members can access them afterward.

Include interactive dialogue variations

Many of us can recall narratives or anecdotes from a presentation we’ve seen. I vividly remember certain stories told by faculty members in my academic career; their application of content helped me connect the knowledge to real life.

Similarly, you can place a word, phrase, or picture on your slide to remind you of an anecdote or narrative you want to share. Instead of putting the entire anecdote or narrative on the slide word for word, use the slide only to prompt you to relate it to the audience orally.

Create “empty” handouts

When I last attended a nursing conference, the presenter gave the audience handouts. Then she turned her back to us and simply read from her slides. With each slide, I grew less engaged. Eventually, I left to attend another presentation. Why not? All of the content was on the handout, word for word.

To avoid this situation, create a second, slightly different version of your presentation that contains information not included on the slides you’ll present—what’s commonly called an “empty” outline or handout. Save this second version on your computer under a new filename to avoid confusing it with the full presentation; then make printouts of the “empty” version to hand out to the audience. Doing this keeps the audience engaged as they fill in answers to test questions, grids, and discussion questions. For example, you may want to ask the audience the advantages and disadvantages of using the deltoid muscle for intramuscular injections. Leaving the corresponding slide empty encourages them to think on their feet. Later, you can share the correct answers on the slide or verbalize the correct answers during your presentation. (See The“empty” slide or handout by clicking on the PDF icon above.)

Although your audience will need to take notes to complete their handouts, you don’t want them to have to write too much. Balance the need to give them enough content to stay engaged with the need to not reveal your entire presentation.

Other presentation tips

Ultimately, PowerPoint can only go so far in helping you engage your audience. As the presenter, you must be able to “read” your audience—and this comes with experience. For instance, if you “read” that some people are getting bored, consider giving the audience breaks, changing activities, or asking discussion questions to keep them attentive.

Here are some other helpful tips for both novice and expert presenters:

  • Present one idea per slide.
  • Keep your talk to no more than 1 to 2 minutes per slide.
  • Use a pointer or the pen highlighter feature to highlight important content.
  • Use narratives and anecdotes for a more appealing presentation. For example, when sharing a story about your experience administering injections, use the “W” or “B” key on the keyboard to either white out (“W” key) or black out (“B” key) the screen, respectively, when visuals aren’t needed. The audience will look up from their handouts and focus on you, the presenter.

Above all, remember that the slides are meant to serve as an outline. As the nursing expert and content expert, you are the primary focus of the presentation. You become the primary focus by demonstrating knowledge and letting your slides serve as an outline—all the more reason to design the most engaging presentation you can.
