The U.S. has more licensed registered nurses (RNs) than ever (an estimated
3,063,163 - a 5.3 percent increase since the last survey in 2004) For
every 100,000 people, there are 854 RNs, up from 825 in 2004, but with
variations from State to State. Most RNs are actively practicing nursing
(84.8 percent - highest in the history of the survey) and most are working
full time (63.2 percent vs. 58.4 percent in 2004 - the first increase
since 1996).
