Nursing is considered a recession-proof career.  While nursing vacancy rates in the State of Maryland, for example, remained above 10 percent between 2003 and 2007, they are now much lower as formerly inactive nurses return to the workforce or those employed work longer hours during hard economic times. But do not be misled by this temporary reduction in vacancy rates. U.S. labor forecasts continue to highlight the urgent need for experienced nursing professionals across all specialties, including caring for our elderly. 

Consider these statistics as you plan staffing at your institution:

• By 2014, 1.2 million new R.N.s will be needed to replace nurses leaving the field and to care for our aging population. (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services report)


• Of the 2.5 million RNs in 2006, 60 percent were working in hospitals and only 7 percent in nursing homes or extended care facilities. (Bureau of Labor Statistics 2006 Report)


• The population of persons 65 years and older entering nursing homes will increase by 45 percent in the next 20 years. (Bureau of Labor Statistics)


• In the next 20 years, more than 50 percent of long-term care residents will be under age 65 and have physical, emotional or developmental disabilities. (LaPante, Harrington and King 2002)


• Fully 90 percent of long-term care facilities are inadequately staffed, despite studies showing that care hours below threshold result in harm to residents. (Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services)
