Here’s another example of why getting extra training - or being smart about what training you get in school - matters. Findings from the American Association of Colleges of Nursing's (AACN) survey on the Employment of New Nurse Graduates show that “nearly 41% of employers require new hires to have a bachelor’s degree while 77% strongly prefer baccalaureate-prepared nurses.” Employers prefer hiring nurses with at least a baccalaureate degree in nursingĮmployers prefer hiring new nurses with baccalaureate preparation. Getting some extra training could be worthwhile in 2023.Ĥ. There will always be a demand for registered nurses, but this statistic does hint at an opportunity for anyone still in training: Nurses with specialized skills may have better prospects, both for job placements and pay. Nurse anesthetists, nurse midwives, and nurse practitioners are expected to have a 40% growth rate according to the BLS. The BLS expects “employment of registered nurses is projected to grow 6% from 2021 to 2031, about as fast as the average for all occupations,” but some nursing specialties are expected to grow dramatically faster. More opportunities for nurses with specialized skills Even if one location is fully staffed, travel nurses will be able to find work easily. This is yet another sign that nurses will continue to be in demand. High number of job openings projectedĪs current nurses either retire or leave for other professions, about 203,200 openings for registered nurses are projected each year, on average, over the decade, according to the BLS. Take note: This also means that nurses need to be as conscious and deliberate as possible about taking care of themselves. So if you’re in nursing school, or thinking about becoming a nurse, rest assured: there will be plenty of work for you. This suggests the shortage of nurses will continue (a trend we expect, and Moody’s also predicts). We expect that to taper in 2023, but it will still be a factor.
In 2022, the burnout rates were high post-pandemic. And if you’re a nurse already, you definitely don’t need to be told about it. There’s been a lot of press about nurses burning out. In addition, 34% of nurses said they would likely quit their job by the end of 2022, primarily because of burnout and working in a high-stress environment.
