Places with most demand for RNs??

Published

Reading a few threads on here about places where a BSN degree is practically mandatory due to the competition for jobs got me wondering...

Where in the US right now is in the most demand/need for nurses? I imagine that a good amount of smaller communities in most states, however I would be interested to learn what states in particular are generally in more need, higher demand for nurses if anyone knows or has any recent article information that would be great.

Thanks.

In IN, northern IN and Indy have a need, but southern, especially southeast and south central are flooded with new grads and have a shortage of jobs, except LTC and some of those are now requiring BSN

Rural areas with less than ideal climate and high rates of poverty seem to have the greatest demand for nurses. Think Texas/Mexico border, Indian reservations and other rural community hospitals.
