In 2000 the national supply of FTE RNs was estimated at 1.89 million, whereas the demand was estimated at 2 million, a shortage of 110,000, or 6%. Based on what is known about trends in the supply of RNs and the anticipated demand, the shortage is expected to grow relatively slowly until 2010, by which time it will have reached 12%. At that point, demand will begin to exceed supply at an accelerated rate, and by 2015 the shortage will have almost quadrupled to 20%. If not addressed, and if current trends continue, the shortage is projected to grow to 29% by 2020. Factors driving the growth in demand include an 18% increase in population, a larger proportion of elderly persons, and medical advances that heighten the need for nurses.
