COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ To help address the current nursing shortage across Ohio and the U.S., Hondros College of Nursing (HCN) announced today its plan to open a new campus in Akron, Ohio. The first class of students will begin in the Practical Nursing (PN) Diploma program in April 2021 at the campus located at 755 White Pond Drive.
Both the state of Ohio and the nation are facing a nursing shortage that is expected to continue for at least the next eight years. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that there will be over 175,000 registered nursing (RN) job openings each year through 2029.
