Is Nursing a Viable Career Option?

Yes! Nurses are the most sought-after healthcare professionals in America. They account for 30% of all hospital jobs.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there will be a 7% increase in nursing jobs by 2029. This is significantly more than the average rate for all other professions.

The economic principle of demand-supply can help explain why nurses are so needed. The BLS estimates that 175,900 nurses’ jobs will go unfilled yearly because of retiring nurses.

Demand is those baby boomers, the second largest generation in America, are now in their senior years (between 50 and 75). They require more healthcare services than nurses can provide. Employers seek nurses with bachelor’s degrees in nursing. Employers also want candidates with a second degree. They see them as more dedicated to the field.
