Nurses make up one of the most in-demand workforces in the U.S. Registered nurse (RN) employment is expected to grow 6% between 2021 and 2031, while the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projects nurse practitioners (NPs) to be the fastest-growing occupation at 46% over the same period. But the country isn’t producing enough new RNs and NPs to keep up with demand. McKinsey estimates the country could face a shortage of between 200,000 to 450,000 nurses by 2025.
