Houston, TX -- (SBWire) -- 06/18/2013 --Registered nurses continue to be in high demand. The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that job growth in this field will be faster than average until, and possibly beyond, 2020 and all that is needed to obtain a job as a registered nurse is an associate degree.
