About half of the RN workforce will reach retirement age in the next 15 years.
Urban hospitals reported that filling nursing vacancies is significantly more difficult.
Small hospitals are experiencing increased difficulty in recruiting obstetrics nurses, and the time to recruit them has substantially been increasing.
Larger and urban facilities reported increased use of agency and contract nurses.
It is estimated that the shortage of RNs will reach 500,000 within 10 years.
There are critical shortages of
healthcare professionals all across America and the number of current vacancies is astounding:
126,000 nurses
10,000 pharmacists
13,000 lab techs
13,000 diagnostic imaging techs
And its going to get much worse. The leading edge of the Baby Boomer Generation --76 million strong -- is just now entering retirement age. This will put unprecedented pressure on an already under-staffed healthcare industry for years to come, forcing healthcare companies to pay billions to
medical recruiters for their services.
