January 8th, 2010
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Economists say nursing and other health care-related services will continue to grow in Ohio.
The Health Policy Institute of Ohio projects that Texas, California and Ohio will have the greatest need for lvn jobs in orange county ca in the next 10 years because of aging baby boomers. Researchers also expect Ohio to be short 32,000 nurses by 2020.
That’s why nursing is attracting people who are seeking new careers.
Travis Minzler of suburban Columbus quit his all managed care nursing jobs with an auto-supply company in 2008 and enrolled in nursing school last January. The program at Mount Carmel College allows people who already have a degree to get a bachelor of nursing degree in 13 months.
The 41-year-old Minzler says he hopes becoming a nurse will provide more job security.
