Hard Truths for CNOs: The Current & Future State of the Nursing Workforce

There have been concerns for years about supply and demand imbalances in the nursing workforce. Despite seemingly healthy raw national numbers of nursing staff, they are not in the geographies, sites of care, or roles where they are needed most. Nor do these staff always have the needed specialization and experience level, widening the existing experience-complexity gap. As a result, gaping holes in staffing rosters, prolonged vacancies, unstable turnover rates, and unchecked use of premium labor are now all commonplace. This context is untenable and requires a different approach than previous cyclical workforce supply-demand imbalances.

To ensure dialogue at the senior leadership level, this event is only open to members at the VP level and above.

For attendees who join for the full 90 mins, we’re pleased to offer 1.5 CE credits. When prompted, please make sure to provide your RN license number.
