Pennsylvania Nursing and Health Care Schools

The Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry notes that Pennsylvania's health care industry is flourishing. In fact, average industry wages in the state remain slightly higher than the national average. Some health care occupations, such as registered nurses (RN), earned a median salary of around $55,000, and some experienced medical and health services managers earned as much as $90,000 last year in the Keystone State. The Pennsylvania Board of Nursing awarded nursing licenses in record numbers last year. Still, the need for health care professionals remains great.

Nurses must graduate from a state-approved nursing school, and obtain a Pennsylvania nursing license, which must be renewed every two years. Beginning in January, Certified Registered Nurse Practitioners (CRNP) must complete 30 hours of nursing continued education before renewing a nursing license. Medical and health services management positions generally require a Bachelor's Degree, although a master's degree in business administration (MBA) is generally preferred. The nursing and health care education programs in Pennsylvania can prepare you for a career in one of the state's prime job growth sectors.
