Abstract
The United States is experiencing a nursing shortage unlike any previous shortage. The nursing workforce is aging at a greater rate than the general workforce. Nursing school enrollments are not predicted to meet the demands created by older nurses leaving practice and increasing health care complexity. The purpose of this study was to identify potential disparities in the registered nurse workforce by collecting information about nursing schools and programs, nursing faculty, faculty hiring projections, nursing students and enrollment projections.
