What kinds of jobs, positions and opportunities are available for PhD nurses?
Of the more than 3 million nurses in the United States less than 1% are PhD-prepared and most of the PhD prepared nurses are working in academic institutions. There is a severe shortage of PhD nurses – a 6.9% shortage of doctorally prepared faculty, which will double in the next decade as baby boomers retire. As a result, a report by the Institute of Medicine calls for a doubling of the number of nurses with doctorates by 2020. Consequently, PhD nurses are in short supply to fill the needed roles of PhD nurses in: • Academia (e.g., clinical and research faculty) • Acute care (e.g., research facilitators, project directors, administrators, data managers) • Community/public health (e.g., administrator, population-based projects) • Pharmaceutical industry (e.g., research and development, managing drug trials) • Biomedical industry (e.g., testing new mechanisms, interventions and inventions) • Non-profits (e.g., advisory and trustee boards), and • Government sectors (e.g., advisor/consulta
