Two important factors contribute to New Jersey’s nursing shortage: (1) a growing aging population and (2) an aging nursing workforce. The problem is so bad, New Jersey will only have a third of the required nursing workforce if it’s unable to generate and attract a base of qualified candidates within the next ten years.

Twenty years down the road, the picture gets worse. And by worse, we’re talking about an 80,000 nurse employment gap. That’s just under half of what the state will need by then.
You won’t have to wait that long to notice the strain however. In as little as five years, New Jersey’s current veteran nurses will finally retire and create new job opportunities for those who are prepared to fill them.
Get your BSN online and learn the necessary tools required to care for an aging population. Before it’s all said and done, the state is going to need you and your skills! As long as you have the education and training, you needn’t worry about finding employment after graduation. New Jersey’s workforce welcomes nurses with LPNs, RNs, and BSNs. So get started today!
Number of New Jersey nursing jobs today: 55,794 RPNs
80,398 RPNs will be needed in New Jersey by 2015
