Nurses in the United States practice nursing in a wide variety of specialties and departments.

Demand for nurses in the US

The demand for nurses has been on the rise for several years,[when?] spurred by various economic and demographic factors. Demand for nurses is projected to increase for the foreseeable future (an increase of 23% between 2006 and 2016, according to the US Department of Labor[8]). Candidates for nursing jobs that are in highest demand include registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, certified nurse assistants, and certified medical assistants. As nurses endure long work hours, they face the struggles of being understaffed. These insufficient ratios of staff create a more stressful environment, discouraging some nurses to remain in their profession.^[1] By either increasing the number of staff or the quality of the staff's training, there could be fewer barriers for aspiring nurses to surpass.^[2]

This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.

If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live.

If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here.

Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content.
