Health Care Programs in Minnesota

The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development reports that Minnesota State harbors 12,839 health care establishments, which are staffed by 382,769 total health care workers and social service employees. Out of Minnesota's health care workers, registered nurses earn one of the higher wages, with an average hourly wage of $28.58. If you would like to work as a nurse, nursing instructor, medical assistant, or a similar health care profession, you may need a relevant medical degree to pursue these careers.

Most registered nurses earn their LPN or RN degrees from accredited nursing schools before entering the workforce. In nursing and medical programs, students may choose to specialize in one specific area, such as addiction nursing, health care administration, or ambulatory care. Nurses who already have medical jobs can also benefit from nursing schools by earning nursing CEUs through continuing education courses. After graduation, nursing students and other health care applicants may seek employment in Minnesota hospitals, family practices, and private clinics.
