Nursing shortage infographic
As the baby boomer population gets older and 32 million Americans gain access to healthcare under the Affordable Healthcare Act, the demand for nurses has significantly increased. Healthcare jobs are among the fastest growing jobs in America, with a predicted increase of 526,800 registered nurses by 2022. The demand for nurses is quickly growing and it has been chronicled through the years. While this is good news for anyone looking to start a career in healthcare, nurses are suffering from heavier workloads, and that can directly affect patient care.
