The Maryland Action Coalition (MDAC) is part of the Future of Nursing: Campaign for Action, a nationwide movement to improve health care through nursing. An initiative of AARP and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the Campaign includes Action Coalitions in 50 states and the District of Columbia working to implement the Institute of Medicine’s Future of Nursing recommendations.

MDAC aims to examine strategies taken to advance the educational preparation of nurses, explore innovative initiatives to expand clinical practice knowledge and skills, and describe academic-clinical partnership models and activities leading to a healthier Maryland.

MARYLAND NURSING WORKFORCE CENTER

LOGO

The Maryland Nursing Workforce Center (MNWC) was founded in July 2018 by a Nurse Support Program II (NSP II) grant, which is funded through the Maryland Health Services Cost Review Commission and administered by the Maryland Higher Education Commission.

The MNWC enables the state to gather critical data in three key areas: faculty, pipeline, and practice. Faculty data will focus on statistics related to the number of faculty positions available, projected faculty needs, areas with the most faculty vacancies, and educational background of faculty members. Relevant data for the pipeline includes the number of nursing students currently in nursing programs, graduation rates, National Council Licensure Examination pass rates, projected need for new nurses, recruitment and retention initiatives, number of qualified nursing school candidates denied admission, student diversity, and clinical placements. The practice data details projected nursing demands, current workforce numbers, nursing shortage locations, and diversity within the workforce.
