Another @uncsheps workforce team article in May/June @NCMedJ - overview of NC Nursecast Model findings of RN and LPN supply & demand by settings and geographies, highlighting where the state will face nursing shortages. Model funded by @NCNursingBoard. https://t.co/uyGQRcs4Kt

[Sheps Health Workforce NC @WorkforceNC]

@uncsheps workforce team published 2 articles in May/July @NCMedJ. One study finds APPs make up 39% of the primary care workforce in NC & comprises a larger % of the primary care WF in the state's most underserved counties. https://t.co/uyGQRcs4Kt

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.

[NC Health News @NCHealthNews]

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.”

“[NC]…is experiencing a shortage of nurses that is estimated to worsen over the next decade. The Triad is on track to be one of the most affected areas, according to NC Nursecast, a workforce model created by the [NC BON] and [Sheps]”

@NanciaOdom @NCNursingBoard Thanks for reviewing NC Nursecast! So glad the tool is interesting and potentially helpful to you and others. Really enjoyed your discussion of use cases.

[Sheps Health Workforce NC @WorkforceNC]

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! https://t.co/etDEZix00x

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.

[Sheps Health Workforce NC @WorkforceNC]

Something unique is happening in Southeast NC – A small projected RN surplus is likely due to high retention of nursing graduates from local training programs. Expanded story about the SE coming soon. Stay tuned.

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. https://t.co/BUxrK7YTfP

The Mountain AHEC (western NC) and Wake AHEC face the largest LPN shortages.
