In fact, by the year 2020, there will be an estimated shortage of 800,000 nurses. Currently, registered nurses constitute the largest health care occupation with 2.4 million jobs and, among all occupations, are projected to create the secondlargest number of new jobs. Most openings should occur in hospi- tals, nursing care facilities and home healthcare services, to name a few. The prognosis is excellent for job opportunities in the nursing field. The three major educational paths to registered nursing are a bachelor’s degree, an associate’s degree and a diploma from an approved nursing program. Opportunities in most specialities are expected to be excellent, with some employers already reporting difficulty in attracting and retaining enough RNs. Experts at Interim HealthCare, a leading provider of home care and supplemental health care staffing, recommendjob seekers learn about training and certification in their desired fields.
