Area of Science:

  • Nursing Workforce Demographics
  • Healthcare Human Resources
  • Registered Nurse (RN) Labor Market Analysis

Background:

  • In 2000, Alberta's Registered Nurse (RN) workforce was mature, with over 25% older than 50 and nearly 50% between 36-50.
  • A significant portion of RNs worked part-time or casually (over 50%), impacting full-time employment rates.
  • The majority of RNs (75%) were in institutional settings, with limited presence (8%) in community health.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the demographic profile and employment characteristics of Alberta's Registered Nurse (RN) workforce in 2000.
  • To identify trends in RN education, practice settings, and roles.
  • To understand the implications of the aging RN workforce and educational shifts for future nursing supply.

Main Methods:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Descriptive analysis of the Alberta RN labor force in 2000.
  • Examination of RN age distribution, employment status, work settings, and roles.
  • Analysis of educational qualifications (diploma vs. baccalaureate) and their correlation with roles.

    • Main Results:

    • The Alberta RN workforce was aging, necessitating new graduate recruitment.
    • A low proportion of RNs worked full-time (45%), with over half in casual/part-time roles.
    • Most RNs (80%) provided direct patient care, with a growing trend of baccalaureate-prepared RNs entering direct care roles.

    Conclusions:

    • Alberta's RN workforce faced an impending retirement wave, requiring strategic workforce planning.
    • The high prevalence of part-time/casual work among RNs warrants further investigation.
    • The increasing number of new RN graduates with baccalaureate degrees signals a shift towards higher education in direct patient care.
