• APRNs will continue to provide care in shortage and underserved areas and in difficult to fill specialties like behavioral health and
primary care

Trang 32A University of Hawaii assessment found our doctor
shortage is worsening.
The pipeline of caregivers, including doctors, nurses,
therapists, and elder care specialists has not kept
pace with demand
Primary care are the largest group in short supply,
followed by infectious disease and geriatric
specialists.
Our ability to educate and train the future workforce
locally is too often limited in what is available
We enjoy and are challenged by our geographic
Trang 33As of 2016, there were roughly 11,390 RNs in the
state of Hawaii.
According to the Health Resources and Services
Administration (HRSA), it is anticipated that there
will be a shortage in Hawaii of 3,311 full-time RNs
by 2025.
There are not enough specialty RNs in Hawaii
hospitals, so travelers are being utilized more
heavily, and at a greater cost This shortage is
due in part to the lack of locally available training.
These shortages are expected to continue as the
nursing workforce ages and retires, and the need
for nursing services increases.
