With shortages in the nursing field, the choice could be the best you make
Copy: The COVID-19 pandemic showcased the mighty power of healthcare providers and unveiled the troubling shortage of nurses.
In fact, in 2016 the Texas Center for Nursing Workforce Studies projected that the state would have an unmet demand of 60,000 registered nurses by 2030. By 2030, the state is projected to have a continued deficit of 15,900 nurses.
