It may be strange to view a nursing shortage this way, but it truly is beneficial in one very important regard. To a degree, Virginia’s current nursing shortage opens doors to an alternative way of nurse training — a way that probably would have never been considered had it not been for the shortage in the first place. And that way of course, is through online nursing programs.

Getting a BSN through an online nursing program is the result of a technical means of educating a massive number of nurses with an emphases on time and efficiency. Time is of the essence here, especially when you consider that in just 10 years, Virginia will be short 23,000 nurses. But efficiency is of the essence as well.
Not only does the state face a massive nursing shortage, it additionally faces a nurse educator shortage. Both industries are filled with veteran employers who need replacement upon retirement. Left to fend for itself, the state’s health care system will be at risk if it cannot generate and attract a sufficient number of qualified professional nurses.
With a BSN, you can help the state meet its growing demand for quality health care. Enroll in an online nursing program today.
