one-third of new nursing graduates in the United States are having
finding work. Alexandra Bauernschub is finishing a master's degree program at
University of Maryland. She has done well in the program, earning
highest grade point average possible. But she is worried because she
not received job offers. Yet there is hope for nurses who
studies at four-year schools or graduate level programs. They have an
time finding a job in health care than nurses graduating from
two-year degree program. Experts say there are fewer job openings because
in their 50s and 60s are delaying retirement. These workers are
to rebuild the savings they lost a few years ago during
financial crisis. Jane Kirschling is head of the University of Maryland's
school. She says weak economic conditions have created tensions in the
market. The number of students entering nursing school has risen sharply
recent years. At the same time, the United States is preparing
the retirement of millions of "-.baby-boomers-." That is the name given
Americans born between the end of World War Two and the
1960s. Hundreds of thousands of nurses are expected to retire just
people their age need more medical care. Health care laws are
in the United States. Health experts say they expect demand for
to care for the sick and aged to grow. They say
older nurses will retire if the economy improves. This would create
openings for younger nurses and recent college graduates. For VOA Learning
