Delaware is a tiny state, but those who choose to enter nursing careers here will have big opportunities in the First State. While the unemployment rate sits close to the national average here, nurses still remain high in demand due to Delaware’s persistent nursing shortage. State studies have shown the nursing shortage is most pronounced in hospitals and long-term care facilities. However, some potential nursing students may have trouble getting into nursing programs here because there have not historically been enough nursing faculty to teach the growing number of incoming nursing students. However, those who do graduate from such programs generally do not have to wait long before finding gainful employment. Nurses who live in Delaware can enjoy the scenic coastline along the Atlantic Ocean and the Delaware Bay, which are great for coastal kayaking and sailing. Forests, rivers, parks and campgrounds in the state also make it a great place for outdoor recreation.
