Health care job explosion!

"Many of the fastest growing occupations are concentrated in the health services field, which is expected to account for 1 out of every 5 new jobs created by 2014. Factors contributing to job growth include increased use of innovative medical technology, the increase in obesity-related health problems, and the aging population, which will require more health services. Retirement of older workers is expected to cause worker shortages. In some areas, new-hire bonuses of $5000 are common and a few hospitals even offer help with mortgages or rent. Students in fields with the greatest shortages may find employers offering loan forgiveness programs to help repay college debt. The US Army offers registered nurses bonuses of up to $15,000"--Publisher website (May 2007).
