Abstract

According to a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services report released in July of 2002, the national supply of full time equivalent nurses was estimated at 1.89 million in the year 2000, while the demand was estimated at two million. This reflects a nursing shortage of 110,000 or 6 percent. By the year 2015 the demand will accelerate and almost quadruple to 20 percent.
