From the Paper:

"The job prospects for new graduates vary with each specialization. The demand for employees differs in each field. One field where the job market is going exponentially is the field of nursing. By the year 2020, there will be an estimated shortage of 800,000 nurses (Johnson & Johnson, 2007). Nurses are needed not only in hospitals, but in home health agencies, long-term care facilities such as nursing homes, managed care centers, and in community health. The high demand for nurses also makes it easier for recent nursing school graduates to break into a career in nursing. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, "registered nurses are projected to create the second largest number of new jobs among all occupations; job opportunities in most specialties and employment settings are expected to be excellent, with some employers reporting difficulty in attracting and retaining enough RNs" (U.S. Department of Labor, 2006). This is excellent news for the nursing student and recent nursing graduates but where does one start?"
