3/31/2022

0 Comments

 
Diversity of our Nursing Workforce: The Race/Ethnicity of our nurses do not align with the Connecticut’s Population. As the demographics of our residents change in Connecticut, the race/ethnicity of nurses must be reflective of our patient populations. The largest discrepancy lies in the Latino/Latina demographic.

Lack of a Systemic Plan to Address the Aging of the Nursing Workforce

​
As 56% of the Full-Time nursing workforce in Connecticut are over the age of 50, partnerships must be created between State Agencies, Healthcare Trade & Professional Associations and practice settings with the sole focus of workforce strategic planning to address the large number of retirements that will occur over the next 5- 10 years. ​
