Nursing Educators work in a variety of environments, including:
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing report that nurse practitioners earn average salaries of $97,000-$100, 000. The National Governor’s Association notes that by 2019, the demand for primary care in the United States will increase by between 15 million and 25 million visits per year.
