Maryland is a magnificent state, with mountains, farms, big cities, historical sites, beaches, and the unique Chesapeake Bay. It is also a good place to study nursing, because Maryland has been aggressively attacking its nursing shortage by drawing students into its nursing programs. The strategy seems to be paying off; 2002 saw a 20% increase in enrollment over the year before.
The University of Maryland and Johns Hopkins University both have esteemed medical schools, but there are also nursing programs found throughout the state in colleges and technical schools/community colleges. Registered nurses made an average hourly wage of $31.12/hour in Maryland in 2004. Wages across all healthcare practitioner and technical fields averaged $31.99/hour.
