The nursing workforce is highly sought-after in the global labour market. More than 50 per cent of new nurse registrants in the United Kingdom are from India and a comparable and increasing number of Indian nurses migrate to the US annually. Nurses make up the largest sector of healthcare jobs and the need for Registered Nurses will grow approximately 25 percent from its current rate by the year 2025. Therefore nurses with advanced degrees and training will be in high demand in the years to come.
An Overview of Opportunities for Nurses
The biggest challenge hospitals face is recruitment of nurses in critical care and other specializations
- Rapid depletion in quality of nurses requiring urgent skill enhancement
- Lack of continuous professional development
- Curriculum not designed as per industry requirements
