How do you picture your retirement? Are you lying on a white, sandy beach drinking a cool beverage on a warm, sunny day while watching the waves come and go? Well, you’re not alone. Due to its beautiful beaches and mild, enjoyable climate, Florida is home to one of the largest retirement populations in the country, and it’s continuing to grow as the years progress.
By 2025, the Florida Center for Nursing has predicted that Florida will face a major shortage of Registered Nurses throughout the state as more and more Baby Boomers move to the Sunshine State. This same study has indicated that the shortage is also due to the fact that more than 40 percent of Florida’s nurses are nearing retirement age within the next decade or so, and there’s a lack of younger nursing students, needed to replace the retiring professionals.
Currently, there’s an estimated 21.65 million people living in Florida, and about 4 million of them are seniors. As people get older, they need more medical care and attention. So, if you’re in the market for a new job, you may want to consider moving to Florida where growth in the nursing industry is estimated to continue to rise over the next decade.
