Reaching for those high salaries
A BSN degree is becoming a must for any nurse in any discipline, as is certification that’s applicable to the area of nursing, in addition to experience. These three factors greatly impact salary, but Fort says that professional affiliations and memberships also matter because they attest to a nurse’s commitment to the profession and to upholding professional standards.

She also points out that engaging in continuing education is critical. “The highest salaries will be earned by nurses who keep abreast of new trends, so those who pay attention to health trends related to industry, geography, diseases outbreaks and so on” Fort says.

Cynthia Dusseault is a professional freelance writer with both a health and an education background. A former medical radiation technologist and elementary school teacher, she realized that no matter what she did, she was drawn to any task that involved writing, so she decided, over a decade ago, to write full-time. Since then, she has written for a variety of magazines and websites including Nursing PRN, National Review of Medicine, University Affairs, Your Health, Education Leaders Today, Today's Parent, Children's Playmate, WeightWatchers.ca and many more. She has written about topics such as asthma, genital herpes, circumcision, teleradiology, body art, learning disabilities and exercise trends, and she absolutely adores the fact that writing—particularly doing the research for the articles she writes—makes her a lifelong learner.
