Aureus Medical Group, a leading healthcare staffing agency specializing in travel nursing jobs, travel therapy jobs, and a variety of medical careers, releases an infographic addressing the nationwide nursing shortage.
It’s no secret that the shortage of RNs is a concern across the U.S. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the nursing shortage is expected to significantly increase year by year. It makes healthcare careers in nursing, including travel nursing jobs, among the fastest growing of all occupations.
The infographic provides figures relating to the number of nursing jobs in 2010 and projected figures in 2020, along with anticipated retirements. The infographic also highlights factors contributing to the nursing shortage, including the aging of the Baby Boomer generation, fewer nurses in the workforce, and not enough new nursing graduates to meet the growing demand.
