  A total of 20320 average annual openings are expected for this occupation between 2021 and 2031.

Employment very large occupation
  This was a very large occupation in the United States, employing 3,130,600 workers in 2021.
(The National average for all occupations is 142,207 workers)
Growth Average growth
  The financial pressure on hospitals to discharge patients as soon as possible may result in more people being admitted to long-term or other types of care facilities and in greater need for healthcare at home. Job growth is expected in facilities that provide long-term rehabilitation for stroke and head-injury patients and in facilities that treat people with Alzheimer's disease. Employment growth is also projected in outpatient care centers, where patients do not stay overnight, such as those that provide same-day chemotherapy, rehabilitation, and surgery. In addition, because many older people prefer to be treated at home or in residential care facilities, registered nurses will be in demand in those settings.
