Graduates of UNCG’s traditional prelicensure BSN program are thoroughly prepared to excel in the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the demand for registered nurses is expected to surge by 6 percent from 2022 to 2032, significantly outpacing the average growth rate for all occupations. This robust job growth is driven by several key factors, including a heightened focus on preventive and primary care, increased accessibility to healthcare services, rising incidences of chronic conditions like diabetes and obesity, the growing interest in community-based care, and the increasing need for healthcare services as the baby-boomer generation enjoys longer, more active lives. Embrace a promising career with a degree that equips you to make a meaningful impact on the health and well-being of diverse communities.
