Registered nursing is the largest health care occupation, and registered nurses held about 2.4 million jobs in 2004. More than half of registered nursing jobs were in hospitals, in inpatient and outpatient departments. Other registered nurses worked in offices of physicians, nursing care facilities, home health care services, employment services, government agencies, and outpatient care centers. Job opportunities for RNs in all specialties are expected to be excellent.

Employment of registered nurses is expected to grow by at least 27% through 2014. Plus, many new jobs in registered nursing are expected to develop thanks to the increase in technology and the aging baby boomer population.
