Nursing Workforce Data Trends and Connecticut Recommendations

Registered nurses (RNs) are critical to a functioning healthcare system. Evidence is mounting that recruitment and retention of bedside nursing staff in acute care hospitals is a challenge of increasing magnitude. Connecticut faces significant obstacles in ensuring an adequate number of highly skilled bedside nurses in an era of aging and medically complex patients. 

​Below are two reports sharing the challenges and recommendations for solutions to produce a robust and sustainable nursing workforce in CT!

Connecticut Nursing Education & Supply

2005 Enhancing the Education and Supply of Nurses in Connecticut: Report and Recommendations are intended to provide information and a direction for action that will help assure that Connecticut will have a sufficient number of well-educated nurses to meet the healthcare needs of our citizens. The Deans and Directors of nursing programs in Connecticut are in a unique position to access the capacity and resources for nursing education and participate with other stakeholders in determining the workforce size and composition that is required for the future.​

Nurses comprise the largest percentage of Connecticut's healthcare workforce.

Nursing Academic Progression

Trends in Nursing Academic Progression 2016-2020
NEPIN, the National Education Progression in Nursing collaborative, sought to locate and evaluate a single data source to equitably interpret current trends in academic progression. Created as an expansion of the former Academic Progression in Nursing (APIN) initiative of the Robert Woods Johnson Foundation, NEPIN is the only national entity solely devoted to ensuring that nurses have access to higher levels of education and achievement. Operating under the fiscal oversight of the OADN Foundation (a federally recognized 501c3 nonprofit organization), NEPIN’s stakeholders understand that successful patient outcomes depend on a well-equipped and sufficiently supported nursing workforce.

The Future of Nursing

Picture
The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health
This report is being published at a time of great opportunity in health care. Legislation passed in March 2010 will provide access to health care for 32 million more Americans. The implications of this new demand on the nation's health care system are significant. This report begins with the assumption that nursing can fill new and expanded roles in a redesigned health care system. To take advantage of these opportunities, however, nurses must be allowed to practice in accordance with their professional training, and the education they receive must better prepare them to deliver patient-centered, equitable, safe, high-quality health care services, engage with physicians and other health care professionals to deliver efficient and effective care.

Nurse Educator Shortage

2010 NLN Nurse Educator Shortage Fact Sheet
The National League for Nursing and the Carnegie Foundation Preparation for the Professions Program conducted a study of the nation's estimate 32,000 nurse educators in the 2005-2006 academic year. The NLN/Carnegie Foundation project sought to identify and investigate factors contributing to the shortage of nurse educators, an indisputable source of the decade-long shortage of nurses plaguing the nation's health care system.
