When times are tough and people need a job, the health industry is rockin’. People will always be ill and need care so becoming a nurse’s aide or registered nurse is a great way to keep your job secure.

You can take the nurses aide or registered nurse classes’ right at a technical college. The RN classes are four years crammed into two years. This is perfect if you do not have four years to spend taking classes. You just need to make sure that you will have enough time and dedication to study.

The average wage for a nurse’s aide to start is $11.00. You can choose to work in a nursing home, clinic, hospital or in-home care. The hospital will most likely be the best paying. If you work second shift or third shift you will most likely make more money per hour.

The average wage for a registered nurse is $30.00 per hour. Registered nurses have more responsibility and can administer medication as well as many other duties versus the nurse’s aide. RN wages on second shift and third shift also offer a wage increase. If you work in the emergency room you may even make $50.00+ per hour as an RN.

Both jobs will offer excellent insurance and benefits. With the cost of healthcare this is an excellent benefit to joining the nursing field. (In-home care may not offer insurance/benefits if you decide to become self-employed. If you work for a company you may get the insurance and/or benefits.)

Check out your local technical college for information on the courses you will need to take to become either a nurse’s aide or registered nurse. Before you know it, you will be making great money and feel relaxed with job security.
