Job Outlook for Registered Nurses Is Bright

Posted on Friday, March 14th, 2014

 

The job outlook for Registered Nurses is bright, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. RN employment is growing faster than the average for all occupations. The reasons: “Increased emphasis on preventative care; growing rates of chronic conditions, such as diabetes and obesity; and demand for health care services from the baby boomer population, as they live longer and more active lives.”
