    A Sourced Look at Texas Demand

    Texas forecasts itself 57,000 RNs short by 2032, and its stepdown units absorb ICU overflow with thinning rosters. Stepdown units absorb ICU overflow by design, so their staffing gaps compound everyone else's. The state sits inside the Nurse Licensure Compact, which shortens every start date. The national RN outlook from BLS holds firm through 2034. HRSA's long-range nursing projections put the state near 93% supply adequacy by the late 2030s, a projected shortage of roughly 21,310 full-time RNs.
