Demand for registered nurses (RN) is high
In 2009, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projected that more than 581,000 new RN positions will be created through 2018.BLS reported that hospitals and other healthcare settings added 37,000 new jobs in March 2011, the biggest monthly increase by any employment sector. As the largest segment of the healthcare workforce, RNs were recruited to fill many of the positions.

Another reason for insufficient number of graduates from PhD programs in nursing: the time to receiving
the doctorate since receipt of an undergraduate degree is often too long

One consequence of insufficient supply of doctoral graduates in nursing is faculty shortage, which is also the leading reason for turning qualified applicants away
