Ohio Nursing Education at a Glance, Fall 2014

Transcription

1 Education is not a static process. It evolves with newly discovered best-practices, technology, and innovation in the classroom. As our nation s healthcare system transforms and more services are provided outside the hospital walls, nurses must be educated for these opportunities and challenges. A life-long learning approach is required for nurses to stay current, which includes higher levels of education and continual learning beyond the academic setting. Given the great need for registered nurses (RNs), including Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs), and nurse faculty in a newly reformed healthcare system, it is crucial to maximize funding for professional nursing education and research. Below are state-specific data that policy makers must consider as they make funding decisions to support America s nursing workforce, nursing science, and the patients they care for. Congress must consider longterm financial planning in these areas not doing so would place the health of our nation in jeopardy. Ohio Nursing Education at a Glance, Fall 2014 In 2014, nursing schools in Ohio enrolled 24,681 students in Baccalaureate and Graduate programs in nursing and produced 8,128 graduates across program levels. 1 Baccalaureate and Graduate Nursing Student Diversity by Program Level 1 Baccalaureate Master's PhD DNP All Programs Minority* 10% 14% 10% 16% 11% Men 12% 13% 12% 9% 12% Total 18,341 5, ,681 Additionally, there were 4,650 nursing students studying to become APRNs, including 4,100 Nurse Practitioners, 336 Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists, 128 Clinical Nurse Specialists, and 86 Certified Nurse-midwives. 1 Elevating the role of nursing science for healthcare advances is more critical than ever. As the nation works to ensure adequate nursing capacity in high need areas, nurses with research-focused doctorates (PhD) will be essential to creating the evidence that will inform and support contemporary nursing practice, improvements in patient care, and reductions in health disparities. 10 Years of PhD Enrollments Ohio 10 Years of PhD Graduates Ohio

2 Understanding the Faculty Shortage A shortage of faculty is a primary obstacle to expanding the nation s nursing workforce and meeting care demand. In 2014, AACN reported that over a thousand qualified applicants were not offered admission to doctoral (1,844) programs due to a faculty shortage as well as other resource constraints. According to AACN s Survey on Vacant Faculty Positions for Academic Year , most open faculty positions either require (57.5%) or prefer (32.1%) doctorally-prepared faculty members. Of the schools surveyed, approximately two-thirds report insufficient funding as one of the biggest obstacles to hiring additional faculty. The problem will exacerbate as many faculty reach retirement age in the next decade. According to AACN's report on Salaries of Instructional and Administrative Nursing Faculty in Baccalaureate and Graduate Programs in Nursing, the average ages of doctorally-prepared nurse faculty holding the ranks of professor, associate professor, and assistant professor were 62, 58, and 51 years, respectively. An increased focus and investment must be placed on educating more doctorally-prepared nurses for faculty positions. 10 Years of Faculty Vacancies Average Age of Ohio Nurse Faculty Ohio YEARS Christ College of Nursing and Health Sciences (OH-1) College of Mount Saint Joseph (OH-1) University of Cincinnati (OH-1) Xavier University (OH-1) Capital University (OH-3) Chamberlain College of Nursing-Columbus (OH-3) Franklin University (OH-3) Hondros College (OH-3) Mount Carmel College of Nursing (OH-3) The Ohio State University (OH-3) Urbana University (OH-4) Defiance College (OH-5) Lourdes College (OH-5) Ohio Northern University (OH-5) Muskingum University (OH-6) Ashland University (OH-7) Aultman College of Nursing and Health Sciences (OH-7) Malone University (OH-7) Mount Vernon Nazarene University (OH-7) 39 AACN Member Schools in Ohio (By Congressional District) Miami University (OH-8) Baldwin Wallace University (OH-9) Mercy College of Ohio (OH-9) University of Toledo (OH-9) Cedarville University (OH-10) Kettering College of Medical Arts (OH-10) Wright State University (OH-10) Case Western Reserve University (OH-11) Chamberlain College of Nursing-Cleveland (OH-11) Cleveland State University (OH-11) Notre Dame College (OH-11) The University of Akron (OH-11) Ursuline College (OH-11) Otterbein College (OH-12) Kent State University (OH-13) University of Mount Union (OH-13) Youngstown State University (OH-13) Hiram College (OH-14) Ohio University (OH-15) Walsh University (OH-16) The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) represents over 760 schools of nursing offering a mix of baccalaureate, graduate, and post-graduate programs at institutions nationwide.

3 Federal Nursing Funding Facing state budget cuts and the reality of recent economic conditions, our schools and the students they educate depend on federal dollars. In particular, the Nursing Workforce Development programs authorized under Title VIII of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 296 et seq.) and the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) are essential to nurse workforce stability and health care quality. The Title VIII grants are awarded to colleges and universities within each state and provide financial assistance to both nursing education programs and individual students. For over 50 years, the Title VIII programs have been instrumental in supporting the pipeline of registered nurses, advanced practice registered nurses, and nursing faculty. As one of the 27 Institutes and Centers at the National Institutes of Health, the NINR supports research that examines health and illness across the lifespan and establishes the scientific basis for quality patient care. Through grants, research training, and interdisciplinary collaborations, NINR addresses health promotion and disease prevention, quality of life, health disparities, and endof-life care. NINR also helps train the next generation of nurse researchers, who serve as faculty in America s nursing schools. 10 Years of Funding in Ohio 2 TITLE VIII NINR FY2005: $4,039,938 FY2006: $2,981,422 FY2007: $2,339,535 FY2008: $2,556,709 FY2009: $4,285,004 FY2010: $5,316,052 FY2011: $6,330,914 FY2012: $6,211,092 FY2013: $7,892,279 FY2014: $6,550,200 FY2005: $3,210,141 FY2006: $3,785,610 FY2007: $5,137,912 FY2008: $4,336,401 FY2009: $5,166,491 FY2010: $5,901,070 FY2011: $4,066,938 FY2012: $5,134,803 FY2013: $4,701,898 FY2014: $6,102,597 Total Grant Funding by Congressional District OH-1: $1,118,044 OH-3: $957,131 OH-5: $107,084 OH-9: $131,018 Total Grant Funding by Congressional District OH-1: $1,096,979 OH-3: $1,549,823 OH-11: $2,903,749 OH-13: $552,046 OH-10: $85,400 OH-11: $3,655,795 OH-12: $139,845 OH-13: $30,796 OH-15: $325,087 3
