A career as a registered nurse may be the way to go for those looking for a California nursing job.
According to the California Employment Development Department, a critical shortage of registered nurses is expected throughout the next 10 years. Because of this, hospitals and clinics have ongoing, active recruitment programs, some of which offer unique benefits to attract applicants.
The CEDD states there were 230,300 registered nurses in 2004, and that number is expected to reach 291,200 by 2014. There should be 10,910 openings for registered nurses per year.
