Engagement with your State Nursing and/or Healthcare Workforce Centers or Nursing Education organization.

The National FORUM of State Nursing Workforce Centers, Inc. (The FORUM) is to collect accurate state-specific data pertaining to:  Determining the capacity of Nursing Education Programs at the RN and LPN levels via their MDS for Education; Understanding the Supply of Nurses via the MDS for Supply Survey; and Identifying the Workforce Demand identified of healthcare facilities and organizations that employ nurses via the MDS for Demand.  Website:  https://www.nursingworkforcecenters.org/

Only CT and Vermont have entities in their states that are members of the FORUM.  CT would be happy to work with MA, NH, and RI to establish a connection with an existing organization within your states undertaking data work to become a member of the Forum.
