    The Independent practitioner·2023

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Education
    • Sociology of Health
    • Healthcare Workforce Studies

    Background:

    • Nursing student recruitment patterns have evolved significantly over two decades.
    • The shift from hospital-based to college-based nursing programs is a key driver of these changes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze changes in the nursing student recruitment pool.
    • To compare demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of students entering hospital versus college nursing programs.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparative analysis of student recruitment data in New South Wales and nationally.
    • Cross-tabulation of student origin by program type, state, gender, and age group.

    Main Results:

    • College programs attract more males directly from school and fewer mature-age males compared to hospital programs.
    • College programs recruit a higher proportion of students from lower socioeconomic households, particularly females in New South Wales.
    • Nationally, no significant socioeconomic difference exists between students choosing paid hospital training versus unpaid higher education programs.

    Conclusions:

    • The transition to college-based nursing education influences the demographic and socioeconomic profile of recruits.
    • Policy and program design may impact the accessibility and diversity of the future nursing workforce.
