Registered nurses (RNs) are one of the nation’s top in-demand occupations. The Bureau of Labor Statistics expects the field to grow from 3 million in 2019 to 3.3 million in 2029, an increase of 7%. New registered nurses are also needed to replace the 175,900 who are projected to retire over the next seven years. For Native communities, the demand for RNs is particularly important. Often located in rural areas where there are already shortages of medical facilities and healthcare personnel, Native Americans suffer from chronic conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure at disproportionate rates. Native RNs are the key to providing patients with culturally competent and vital care such as wellness check-ups, vaccines, and inoculations, ensuring their communities’ overall health.
