Job Outlook Employment of registered nurses is projected to grow 15 percent from 2016 to 2026, faster than the average for all occupations. Growth will occur for a number of reasons, including an increased emphasis on preventative care; growing rates of chronic conditions, such as diabetes and obesity; and demand for healthcare services from the baby boomer population, as they live longer and more active lives. http://www.bls.gov/ooh/healthcare/registered-nurses.htm
Addressing a Growing Trend • In 2010, the Institute of Medicine introduced new demands on the nursing field when it set a target goal for 80% of all nurses to hold bachelor’s degrees by 2020. • The American Association of the Colleges of Nursing (AACN) has collected extensive research that indicates that higher nursing education makes a major di ff erence in clinical outcomes. • The AACN (American Association of College of Nursing) recognizes the BSN as the minimum educational requirement of professional nursing practice.
Magnet Status and Nursing Opportunities • The ‘magnet’ designation, awarded by the American Nurses Association, is highly coveted by hospitals, and has been given to 445 hospitals as of 2016. • This recognition means that 100% of the organization’s nurse managers have a BSN or graduate degree. • Approximately 50% of all nurses associated with direct patient care in a Magnet-recognized hospital currently have a BSN.
