Hello again from the Nurse Leaders Today Studio!!
Well, the California State University nursing students have survived again!! Just completed another leadership class with a group of 21 future RN to BSN students!! California is certainly on their way to reaching the goal of 80% by 2020!!
On a personal note, I've transitioned my move back home to NC!! It's awesome to be with my family, but I will continue to keep my ties to California as part-time faculty for CSUF until I find a faculty job in NC. So far, it's much harder than I anticipated, but I'm certain that God has a plan that I'll step in to when it's time.
Now, back to Nurse Leaders today....
Healthcare continues to be plagued by finding enough experienced nurses, and the work I do with AMN Healthcare validates that. We are seeing more demand for traveling nurses, and now just need to find those nurses that are ready to come back into the travel industry. It's an exciting time to be a nurse!!
It's also a great time to be a nurse leader...as it always is, and so many hospitals are looking for experienced nurse leaders with MSN degrees, and even those that are the right fit, but really don't have strong leadership experience.
Let's take a moment to look at the great updates from AACN website related to the nursing shortage. I look forward to hearing your feedback about their statements.

- According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Employment Projections 2012-2022 released in December 2013, Registered Nursing (RN) is listed among the top occupations in terms of job growth through 2022. The RN workforce is expected to grow from 2.71 million in 2012 to 3.24 million in 2022, an increase of 526,800 or 19%. The Bureau also projects the need for 525,000 replacements nurses in the workforce bringing the total number of job openings for nurses due to growth and replacements to 1.05 million by 2022. http://www.bls.gov/news.release/ecopro.t08.htm
- According to the “United States Registered Nurse Workforce Report Card and Shortage Forecast” published in the January 2012 issue of the American Journal of Medical Quality, a shortage of registered nurses is projected to spread across the country between 2009 and 2030. In this state-by-state analysis, the authors forecast the RN shortage to be most intense in the South and the West. http://ajm.sagepub.com
- In June 2011, Wanted Analytics reported that employers and staffing agencies posted more than 121,000 new job ads for Registered Nurses in May, up 46% from May 2010. About 10% of that growth, or 12,700, were ads placed for positions at general and surgical hospitals, where annual turnover rates for RNs average 14% according to a recent KPMG survey.
- In October 2010, the Institute of Medicine released its landmark report on The Future of Nursing, initiated by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which called for increasing the number of baccalaureate-prepared nurses in the workforce to 80% and doubling the population of nurses with doctoral degrees. The current nursing workforce falls far short of these recommendations with only 55% of registered nurses prepared at the baccalaureate or graduate degree level.
Until Next Time....
