Several factors drive the significant demand for nurses:
1. Aging Population: As the baby boomer generation ages, there is an increased need for healthcare services, particularly in geriatric care. 2. Chronic Diseases: The rise in chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and obesity requires continuous care and management. 3. Healthcare Expansion: Advances in medical technology and healthcare reforms have expanded access to healthcare services. 4. Retirement of Existing Nurses: Many seasoned nurses are reaching retirement age, creating vacancies that need to be filled.
