DIVERSITY OF OUR NURSING WORKFORCE - CT’S CHALLENGES TO MAINTAIN A ROBUST NURSING WORKFORCE:

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 SYSTEMIC PLAN - CT’S CHALLENGES TO MAINTAIN A ROBUST NURSING WORKFORCE

3/31/2022

0 Comments

 
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. ​

Minimal Understanding of the Current Nursing Workforce

3/21/2022

0 Comments

 
As both RNs and LPNs comprise the largest licensed profession in the health workforce, it is critical that Connecticut dedicate, time, energy and resources to better understand the Education, Supply and Demand dynamics for nursing professionals to ensure that our State can produce the numbers and types of nurses that we will need to provide safe and quality care to our residents. ​

2022 CT Nursing Education & Supply

3/3/2022

NEW REPORT PUBLISHED ON CONNECTICUT NURSING EDUCATION SUPPLY

https://nursing.ctdata.org/
​
​
Since 2013, the Connecticut Center for Nursing Workforce, Inc. has been the catalyst in helping the nursing profession in Connecticut to better understand the composition of the nursing workforce who care for our residents. On a bi-annual basis, The Connecticut Center of Nursing Workforce, Inc. (CCNW) received "sample" nursing workforce supply data from the National FORUM of State Nursing Workforce Centers (National FORUM) and conducted an analysis of this statistically significant supply data; and subsequently published infographics on nurse demographics that was distributed and presented to healthcare stakeholders throughout Connecticut.

Beginning in 2018, CCNW partnered with the Connecticut Department of Public Health and the Connecticut Data Collaborative and was able to access a complete dataset of all Connecticut Registered Nurses (RNs) and Licensed Practical Nurse (LPNs). This dataset is a much more robust and valuable pool of data as it provides actual responses from those RNs and LPNs who are licensed within Connecticut.
