Scholarship Spotlight: Nursing Majors
There are ample reasons to become a nurse, but we’ll start with the 500-lb. gorilla in the waiting room. A report by Vanderbilt University projects a shortage of 340,000 registered nurses by the year 2020.
And then there’s this paragraph from the U.S. Department of Labor: “In fact, registered nurses are projected to create the second largest number of new jobs among all occupations.”
In short, nurses are in high demand. That’s good news for future nursing majors. A variety of factors are contributing to demand: Current nurses retiring, the aging baby boomer population. The bottom line is that for years to come nurses will be highly sought after across the country. In fact, many schools on Cappex area also looking for nursing majors, especially male nursing majors.
Here’s some more good news: Cappex is offering a college scholarship specifically for nursing majors. The deadline to apply is Sept. 30.
