jobs for nurse practitioners on the rise

Jobs for Nurse Practitioners on the Rise! Jobs for nurse practitioners continue to rise due to shortages of primary care physicians and the growing demand for services. In a report issued by the Association of Medical Colleges, a shortage of 9,000 primary care physicians exists in the United States today. More troublesome is the fact that this number is projected to rise to over 65,000 by the year 2025! Fortunately, a growing solution to this shortage of primary care physicians has been the availability of nurse practitioners to fill these vacant positions. In many states, NP’s are able to work independently of physicians to treat patients, making them an ideal choice to help fill the shortage. And the shortage of primary care physicians is not the only factor contributing the rising need for nurse practitioners. Recent health care reform laws, including Obamacare, along with the increasing number of aging baby boomers, will make the demand for nurse practitioners even greater! All of this is great news for nurse practitioners and those studying to enter the field. In fact, the news is so good, that US News ranked jobs for nurse practitioners as the #4 best job to seek in the U.S. Job openings and opportunities in this field are numerous and unemployment numbers are very low. Even better, the job opportunities for nurse practitioners are growing rapidly each year. The most in‐demand specialties for nurse practitioners are family medicine, general medicine, psychiatric/mental health and internal medicine. There has also been a huge increase in the need for nurse practitioners in urgent care. Some states with the most NP jobs available are California, New York, Florida and Ohio. If you are currently considering a career in the medical field, we highly recommend looking at becoming a nurse practitioner. With a current median salary of $89,000, this is the field to be in right now! Looking for Nurse Practitioner job openings? MedCare Staffing can help.
