Hospitals across the country are combatting significant labor shortages. This is especially true in nursing, where shortages are expected to continue intensifying over the next decade. According to the Health Resources and Services Administration, we should anticipate a national shortage of nearly 64,000 nurses by 2032. Some states will feel the impacts of this shortage more than others – including North Carolina, which is expected to be short nearly 13,000 nurses by 2033.
