The Future of the Nursing Workforce: National- and State-Level Projections, 2012-2025 presents projections on the supply and demand of registered nurses (RNs) and licensed practical/vocational nurses (LPNs) for the U.S. in 2025.

Using baseline data from 2012 and the Health Resources and Services Administration’s (HRSA) Health Workforce Simulation Model, this brief presents national- and state-level projections on the supply of and demand for registered nurses (RNs) and licensed practical/vocational nurses (LPNs) for the entire U.S. in 2025.  State-level differences in demographics and the labor market will result in considerable variation in the size and adequacy of the nursing workforce across the country.
