5. Advanced Practice Registered Nurse
To become an advanced practice registered nurse, who ranks 5th on our list of healthcare careers that require a master’s degree, you need a bachelor’s degree and work experience as a registered nurse. Then you can complete your master’s degree and become state certified. You can then choose a career path such as a nurse anesthetist, nurse midwife, etc. This means more responsibilities and more independent work than before.
