Abstract:

This report presents supply and demand forecasts for the Registered Nurse (RN) workforce in California from 2017 through 2035. These new forecasts
are based on data from the 2016 California Board of Registered Nursing (BRN) Survey of Registered Nurses, the 2015-2016 BRN Annual Schools Report, data extracted from the BRN license records, and other state and national data sources. The 2017 forecasts idicate that supply of and demand for RNs are fairly well-balanced over the next 10 years if current enrollment and state-to-state migration patterns are stable.
