Is there anything different about New Mexico’s nursing shortage than any of the shortages in other states? Actually no, there isn’t, which is why it’s destined to worsen just like it will in all other states. That is, unless New Mexico can manage to create a nursing supply that meets its demand.

What type of demand are we talking about?

How about a whopping 64%? In less than five years, you’re going to witness the turning point in which New Mexico won’t be able to fulfill 64% of the demand for nurses stemming from issues ranging from a lack of sufficient nurse educators all the way to an overwhelming number of aging patients requiring critical care.

The state is in dire need of nurses with master’s and doctoral degrees and the way things are looking now, there will be no balance in the near future unless we can get candidates like you to register for an online BSN nursing program.
