In 2005, Hawaii was host to more than 5 million visitors. This number in addition to the more than 1.2 million residents means that the small islands have a huge demand for medical facilities and healthcare providers.
The residential population growth in Hawaii is expected to increase by more than 38% between 2000 and 2020, and the number of people over the age of 65 is expected to rise by 54%. Increases in the populace numbers and visitors to the islands have caused a major nursing shortage in the State of Hawaii.
