Texas Nursing Crisis: A Looming Shortage & Efforts to Build Interest in Nursing Careers

Texas is facing a significant nursing shortage, with registered nurses expected to be over fifty thousand short by 2036. Certified nurse midwives will also be in short supply, and licensed vocational nurses are projected to face deficits starting in 2034. Burnout and high stress levels are exacerbating the issue, leading to early departures from the field. However, programs targeting middle and high school students are being implemented to foster interest in nursing careers early on. Nurse practitioners and certified nurse anesthetists are currently in surplus, and nursing programs have seen a significant increase in graduates in recent years.
