The Connecticut Center for Nursing Workforce, Inc. (CCNW), in collaboration with the Connecticut Data Collaborative (CTData), is pleased to present the Nursing Education in Connecticut 2022 Data Story. This comprehensive report provides valuable insights into the students and faculty of Registered Nurse (RN) and Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) pre-licensure education programs in Connecticut from January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2022.
Key Findings: - Proactive measures are needed to increase student recruitment into baccalaureate degree nursing programs in the state. Recommended strategies include enhanced marketing and outreach efforts, collaboration with high schools and community colleges to provide pathways for students interested in nursing, offering financial incentives, scholarships, grants, or loan forgiveness programs, and providing mentorship and networking opportunities for prospective students. - Our data shows that work needs to be done to increase the recruitment of Black and Hispanic/Latino nursing program faculty to better match the demographics of the student population, particularly in LPN programs. Recommended strategies include implementing targeted outreach and recruitment programs, offering mentorship and support programs, creating a welcoming and inclusive environment within the nursing program, and instituting fair and unbiased hiring practices to support diverse faculty growth. This report serves as a call to action for the nursing community to address these critical issues and work towards a more diverse and inclusive nursing education environment in Connecticut. You can access the full report on the CCNW and CTData websites for more details. https://www.ctcenterfornursingworkforce.com/data-reports.html https://nursing.ctdata.org/ We deeply appreciate your attention and look forward to working together to improve nursing education in Connecticut.
