Increased demand for skilled, specialized nurses during the pandemic revealed the need for more nursing educators, as faculty has been insufficient for many nursing programs Nursing education providers are subject to a wide array of regulations and accreditation requirements, artificially limiting supply and creating further barriers to entry in the industry Healthcare systems are working to increase the number of nurses with advanced degrees, as an increase in the number of RNs holding at least a BSN degree decreases the risk of patient mortality $4B+ Total Addressable Market for High LTV Nursing Degrees (1) 80,000+ qualified applicants were turned away from nursing school programs in 2020 due to a lack of clinical sites and nursing instructors
