The Lewin Group assisted the National Center for Health Workforce Analysis to prepare supply and demand projections of registered nurses for the period 2000 through 2020. This report consists of three sections. The first presents the National Center’s projections of RN supply and demand, both national and State-specific, for the years 2000 through 2020. The second identifies and discusses the driving forces and trends underlying the projected supply; the third does the same for the projected demand.
