In 2007, there was a shortage of 11,000 full time registered nurses. This report was taken out by Florida Center for nursing report, a center that was established by the Florida Legislature in 2001 to forecast supply and demand of nursing care. By 2020, the shortage will increase up to 52,000. This could be curtailed if only programs are expanded and experienced nurses are given incentives to remain on the job.

Hospitals are aggressively setting recruiting campaigns and perks to attract and retain nurses. Nursing programs at local educational institutions are being added and expanded through innovative partnerships between colleges and hospitals. Dr. Bonnie Hesselberg, dean for Nursing and Health Profession says, "We are all trying to meet demand as quickly as we can." Colleges train RNs and offer a bridge course for LPNs who want to earn their RN certification.
