The healthcare industry in the US is witnessing a shortage
of nurses in the country. Despite the fact that the registered nurses are among
the single largest healthcare professionals in the country, the vacancy rate
for registered nurses is growing. US will need more than 1 million registered
nurses by 2021.

demand for physician assistants and practitioners in the healthcare
organizations. Further, an increase in aging population, a rising homecare
