The star of Jon & Kate Plus 8 reality TV series and mother of eight has renewed her nursing license. Kate Gosselin said that while she plans to explore entertainment options in TV and possibly film, she is keeping her options open and plans to use nursing as a fallback career.
Gosselin wanted to renew her nursing license, which was set to expire on October 31st. The $45 fee would renew her license until 2011. She is currently qualified to practice nursing but will have to complete 30 hours of continuing education credits before her next renewal in 2011 to comply with Pennsylvania Heath Department regulations.
Before Gosselin became famous, she worked as a registered nurse after completing a diploma program at The Reading Hospital and Medical Center in Reading, Pennsylvania. She then worked as a labor and delivery nurse at Reading until 2004. She also worked a double shift every other Saturday in a dialysis center.
While it may be a fallback career choice, Gosselin may not want to return to nursing just yet. Her lucrative reality television career is giving her plenty of options. She's set to host her own TLC show, Twist of Kate, and she'll be reprising her real-life role as neurotic mom once again on Kate Plus 8. All of which have provided a six-figure income. The average salary for a registered nurse in Pennsylvania currently hovers around $69,000.
