Does it make sense to stay a nurse if there is a predicted glut in 2025?
We already know plenty of people are trying to become nurses.
I see on Allnurses where many do not think these people cannot handle the schoolwork,
but i know for a fact that many of them are actually succeeding.
I would say 90% of the people i know who wanted to become nurses in the last 5 years have succeeded.
I will only be 43 in 2025. I have been a nurse since 2004,and have never really worked outside of nursing(besides being a Cna)
I will also have 21 years in nursing if i stay in 2025.
Of course,i can get a Bsn to stay competitive,but i do wonder if that will be enough.
It might get so competitive that employers might ask for something else or they might have even more stringent requirements(such as 1 year med surg experience) that i do not have.
