Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Today we invite you to read our report, Nursing: Supply and Demand Through 2020. The report analyzes the dynamics affecting demand and supply of active nursing professionals, including changing demographics, impact of the Affordable Care Act, and educational obstacles. We project that 1.6 million job openings for nursing professionals will become available through 2020. 

Here are the report’s main findings:
 

  • The United States will face a shortfall of 193,000 nursing professionals in 2020.
  • Recruitment, training, and retention are contributing challenges to increasing the number of nurses working in the field.
  •  Even though, nursing schools attract large numbers of applicants, they lack adequate faculty, facilities and clinical placement cites to train all qualified applicants.
  • Despite the growing interest in nursing education among young people, Bachelors of Science in Nursing (BSN) programs rejected 37 percent of qualified applicants in 2011-2012 and Associates Degree in Nursing (ASN) programs rejected more than half (51 percent) of qualified applicants. 

We encourage you to watch our video and learn more:
