More magazine is featuring the Top Ten Careers for Midlife Women (age 40-59), and Registered Nurse (RN) ranked high on the list. The publication conducted a national survey to identify the 10 Best Jobs based on "bright futures, great perks, a high level of satisfaction, and they all come in well above the national average salary for women ages 40-59," which is $33,176.
In conducting the exclusive nationwide poll, More found that in addition to a good salary and benefits, women need a job that is: meaningful (98%), has a bright future (89%), has a high level of freedom (87%) is age-appropriate (79%) and is flexible (73%), according to the press release.
Registered Nurse careers offer salaries ranging from $51,000 to $76,000 annually, with the top 10% making more than $92,000 annually. (Those top earners are most likely advanced practice nurses (APRN) with advanced degrees beyond their RN certification.) RN careers were ranked at #4 on the list, due to the tremendous demand and projected growth of the field, with an estimated 587,000 jobs to be added by 2016.
Registered Nurse was the only medical career that made the list. Some of the other featured careers include Environmental Scientist, Accountant, Education Administrator, and Human Resources Specialist. The full report is included in the November issue of More magazine, out this week.
