If you thought Kansas would be exempt from the nation’s current nursing shortage, think again. More and more retired nurses are returning to work and just as many nurses nearing retirement are holding on to the jobs they currently have.
Thanks to the failing economy, no one is leaving what used to be a career — but is now seen as secure employment. Kansas may host 129 hospitals, but the truth is, once the economy bounces back and veteran nurses retire once and for all, those facilities will lose the nursing force it currently has, placing thousands of patients at risk.

You can help. With a BSN, you can find permanent employment by the time you graduate from school. Without a BSN, you won’t have access to the high-earning opportunities that degreed nurses will. Don’t let the state’s expansive size fool you. Kansas needs nurses and it needs nurses now.
Number of Kansas nursing jobs today: 27,248 RPNs
34,138 RPNs will be needed in Kansas by 2015
