The American Hospital Association estimates that there were over 100,000 vacant hospital nursing positions in the USA last year. The Federal Bureau of Health Professions projects the demand for RN's registered nurses, will continue to grow thru 2018.
The nationwide shortage of nurses has put upward pressure on nursing salaries and has increased the demand for experienced nurses.

One million new and replacement nurses will be needed by 2012, which places registered nursing as the leader in job growth, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Approximately 126,000 nurses are currently needed to fill hospital job vacancies, according to American Hospital Association.
