What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Health Resources and Services Administration projects that North Carolina will face a 20% shortfall of full-time registered nurses by 2038. A separate report noted that the state currently has over 7,000 vacancies for registered nurses, which is the highest vacancy rate among all healthcare occupations in North Carolina. Labor market projections indicate the state needs an average of about 6,930 new registered nurses annually through 2029.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The projected and current nursing shortages indicate significant labor market dependency for North Carolina's healthcare sector. This shortage affects major health systems, such as Novant Health, which is expanding operations in the state. Local programs, including those involving UNC Wilmington and Cape Fear Community College, are working to recruit students to address the need.
