Studying Nursing in the United States
In this episode, I speak to Nikisha Dewar, a Jamaican who is a nurse by profession in the United States of America. Her nursing degree is her second degree. She is a Georgia State University alumna, so the tips that she shares will be from this experience.
Nursing is a growing and stable profession that is expected to see 15% growth during the next ten years. The median salary for nurses is over $68,450. This compensation is among the best in the United States.
I am very happy that Nikisha did this episode because she was very honest and open, so, I am sure you will learn many things.
