Summary
Maryland
Area of Science:
- Healthcare Workforce Development
- Nursing Education Policy
Background:
- Addressing nursing and nursing faculty shortages is critical for healthcare.
- Maryland implemented a decade-long initiative to boost registered nurse (RN) graduates and faculty preparation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate a nursing workforce initiative aimed at increasing RN graduates and nursing faculty.
- To inform future investments in nursing workforce development based on empirical evidence.
Main Methods:
- Awarded nearly $100 million through 109 competitive grants to 27 nursing programs (FY 2006-2015).
- Supported 950 faculty through various financial awards.
- Program evaluation to assess outcomes and guide future funding.
Main Results:
- Increased the number of nursing graduates by 27% over the decade.
- Maryland's RN growth rate exceeded the national average.
- Despite progress, a projected shortfall of 12,100 nurses by 2025 remains.
Conclusions:
- The initiative successfully increased nursing graduates but did not fully resolve the nursing shortage.
- Continued investment in nursing and faculty workforce development is essential.
- Evidence-based strategies and outcome evaluation are crucial for future interventions.

Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process.

The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.
