## How this list is ordered

Schools are ordered by the median earnings of their Nursing graduates four years after completing, highest first. The figure is the median for federally aided Nursing completers who were working and not enrolled four years after completing. It does not adjust for graduate school enrollment, cost, or who enrolls, and it is not a measure of teaching quality. Case Western Reserve University leads the list at $87,582, and the spread from top to bottom is $18,773.

## Job market context in Ohio

In Ohio, Nursing graduates enter occupations such as Nursing Assistants, Registered Nurses, and Medical Assistants. The median annual wage across those occupations is $62,888, and a quarter of workers in those occupations earn less than $53,402. Projections for 2024 to 2034 put employment in those occupations about 3.0% higher, with 52,230 projected openings a year, or about 455 openings a year for every hundred graduates, more projected openings than graduates. Wages and top occupations exclude management occupations; openings include them. These market figures describe the occupations, not the graduate earnings the ranking above uses.
