National Supply and Demand Projections |
U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services
In 2000, the National supply of registered nurses was estimated at 1,89 million while the demand was estimated at 2 million, a shortage of 110000 or 6 percent. Based on what is known about trends in the supply of RNs and their anticipated demand, the shortage is expected to grow relatively slowly until 2010, by which time it will have reached 12 percent. At that point demand will begin to exceed supply at an accelerated rate and by 2015 the shortage, a relatively modest 6 percent in the year 2000, will have almost quadrupled to 20 percent. If not addressed, and if current trends continue, the shortage is projected to grow to 29 percent by 2020.
