]]> With a surplus of sandy beaches, year-round outdoor activities and sunny days, it’s easy to see why people live in Florida. And with the largest population of residents 65 and older, growing by the day, it’s also easy to see why qualified nursing professionals are in high demand in the Sunshine State. In fact, the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity predicts there will be close to 114,000 openings for RNs (registered nurses) in Florida through 2023.

Filling the Gap

But meeting the demand for skilled nursing personnel is tougher than ever in many Florida counties. And healthcare employers are feeling the pain of a shortage of applicants to fill open positions for both RNs and LPNs (Licensed Practical Nurses). Some industry insiders speculate that the lack of applicant volume is due to a lack of accredited nursing programs in the Sunshine State. Which is likely the reason technical schools in Florida began lobbying state legislators. As a result, Florida House Bill 381 was drafted and is now under review in the Florida House of Representatives. The bill seeks to “authorize school district career centers to conduct certain associate degree nursing programs.” If passed, the bill could create more paths for students to become RNs.

Timing is Everything

When it comes to choosing your career path, it’s pretty sweet when the stars seem to align for you. So, if you’ve been thinking about pursuing a career in nursing, clearly the time is now and the place… the Sunshine State. Let’s recap some of the reasons why.

1. An estimated 114,000 new positions for RNs are predicted through 2023, making potential job opportunities plentiful.
2. Many Florida hospitals and healthcare providers are offering substantial sign-up bonuses, moving expenses and other benefits like childcare and gym memberships to recruit qualified nursing staff.
3. The average salary for an RN in Florida is over $64K!!
4. Did we mention sandy beaches, year-round outdoor activities and sunshine to spare?

 

One of the best reasons for choosing a career in nursing is the feeling you’ll get from touching lives and helping people for a living. But it’s also pretty smart to choose an industry that is projected to need your specific skills for many years to come.

]]> Whether you’ve already made the decision to become a Registered Nurse or are still on the fence about pursuing this career choice, we’ve got some news for you: this is one profession that makes a huge difference. Here are just a few reasons why you should follow your heart and become a Registered Nurse.
1. You Get to Help Others—in a BIG Way
You’ve always felt a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction from helping people, but it’s more than that. You feel a sense of responsibility—an obligation—to offer assistance whenever possible. It’s what makes you… you. It’s also what makes you a great candidate for our Nursing program. As a Registered Nurse, you’ll have the opportunity to treat, educate, heal, and help patients in various ways. Not just every week. Not just every month. Every single day.
2. It’s Always Interesting
You never know what your day will hold. One morning might present a challenge that you overcome in unimaginable ways. An afternoon could bring in a patient that you’ll never forget. You could be the one who gets to confirm a pregnancy after years of trying to conceive. Whether your patients come to you with health concerns that are large or small, there will likely always be something interesting going on.
3. What You do Matters
Most people want to feel like what they’re doing serves a purpose… that it benefits something greater than themselves. What accomplishes that more than helping others every day? Whether you’re prescribing antibiotics, administering exams or caring for the elderly, every action you take as a Registered Nurse makes an impact on someone’s life. Because what you do matters.
4. You’ll Have Plenty of Job Possibilities
Almost everywhere you look, there’s a need for competent healthcare professionals. From hospitals, nursing home facilities, and doctors’ offices to schools, correctional institutions, the military, and more, there’s no shortage of possible career homes when you become a Registered Nurse.
5. You’ll Be a Bit of a Know-it-All (in a Good Way)
Our Associate of Science program covers topics like: administration of medications; nutrition; personal, family, and community health concepts; pharmacology; human growth and development; mental health concepts; body structure and function; and interpersonal relationship skills. You’ll receive a well-rounded education to prepare you for just about any situation.
6. Nursing Jobs are on the Rise
When we say there’s a need for good RNs, we mean it. The employment rate for Registered Nurses is expected to grow 16% from 2014 to 2024—that’s faster than the average for all occupations. From society’s increased emphasis on preventive care to the growing rate of conditions like obesity and diabetes, well-trained and well-educated nurses who can provide services to those in need are always in demand.
At °µÍř˝űÇř, we recognize the significance of this incredible field. If you’re ready to take the first step toward the career you’ve always wanted, we’re ready for you. If you’re prepared to make a difference in the lives of countless patients, today’s the day to make it happen. Contact us now to get started.
