Pennsylvania

In order to find solutions to the nursing worker shortage, Pennsylvania created the Pennsylvania Center for Health Careers. The center tackles ways to fill the current 17,000+ job openings in the healthcare field. The Center has worked to increase educational opportunities, create career ladders and retain nurses. There is an estimated need for 128,100 RNs, 43,350 LPNs and 37,500 CNAs by the end of 2016. That is a total of 208,950 nursing-related jobs in Pennsylvania.
