Learn how the need for registered nurses in the healthcare workforce has inspired Janell Slavey, MSN, RN, to continue increasing and improving clinical experiences for nursing students at Michigan State University in our latest #CoordinatorsCorner! #healthcareworkforce #nursingshortage 

A recent post from the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) sheds light on a concerning issue for American healthcare. The number of students enrolled, “…in entry-level baccalaureate nursing programs decreased by 1.4% last year, ending a 20-year period of enrollment growth in programs designed to prepare new registered nurses (RNs).” (AACN, 2023). Overall, there is a decrease in enrollment for all pre-licensure education programs. In data reported in 2022, 100,000 nurses left the nursing profession during the pandemic. In a time when we need to gain in the number of nurses each year to keep pace with the needs of American healthcare this too is a worrying development. The combination of decreased enrollments in BSN programs and nurses leaving the profession prematurely is a worrisome development. It is too early to tell if these are meaningful trends, but these events should have the attention of stakeholders in American healthcare. Nurses are the largest group of providers in our healthcare system. A prolonged shortfall of nurses decreases the capacity of our healthcare system. Reference: McElroy, A. (2023, September 7). New data show enrollment declines in schools of nursing, raising concerns about the nation’s nursing workforce. AACN. https://lnkd.in/g-Ftxetd Attribution: Public Domain
