Grateful to the AHA for the opportunity to discuss workforce challenges facing our nation’s hospital workforce and the short- and long-term solutions needed to solve them.

One researcher, who has been watching trends in the nursing workforce in NC for the better part of three decades, told lawmakers that she’s “never been so worried about a workforce in my life based on the data.”

"We have a nursing shortage, straight across the board. Of the workforce that I am most concerned about, I am most concerned about nursing. We have shortages in urban areas. We have shortages in rural areas. We have hospitals desperate for nurses." - @ErinFraher of @uncsheps
Thanks for spending the week with us while we unveiled NC Nursecast! We will be back next week with more fun findings, but here's an executive summary to recap what all we covered this week! ncnursecast.unc.edu/briefs/s…
NC retains the nurses it educates! Two years after completing a nursing program in the state, 92% of LPNs, 92% of ADNs, and 86% of BSNs remain in NC! For comparison, medical school graduate retention rates in NC are about 38%. @NCCommColleges, @UNC_System, @NCICUhighered.
Just as regions of NC vary in terms of populations, economies, & even landscapes, so too do the supply/demand for their nurse workforces. NC Nursecast allows users to customize workforce projections by Medicaid, AHEC, & urban/rural. ncnursecast.unc.edu/model/
