Orlando Daytona Beach Melbourne, FL, October 26, 2026 —

Orlando is projected to face a nursing shortage by 2035, with burnout and stalled career advancement identified as factors contributing to the concern. The available information does not specify how many nurses may be affected or describe the basis for the projection.

The proposed response centers on nurse retention. Local employers could support professional growth by making online educational programs accessible to nurses while they remain in their jobs. The approach is intended to give nurses a way to pursue advancement without having to leave their current employment.

The summary does not identify particular employers, educational programs, costs, or measures already taken in Orlando. It also does not provide details about the roles or credentials nurses might pursue through these programs. The recommendation is presented as a potential way to address stalled advancement and help retain nurses, rather than as a reported initiative with documented results.

Supporting nurses’ development is described as a way employers may help strengthen the community’s healthcare workforce. Whether such programs would change retention or the projected shortage is not established in the information provided. No additional figures, timeline beyond the 2035 projection, or local workforce data were included.
