California Institute for Nursing & Health Care (CINHC) www.cinhc.org www.cinhc.org  Founded in 2001, a nonprofit 501©(3) independent organization dedicated to transforming the capacity of nurses to meet the evolving health needs of Californians  Designated nursing workforce center for California  Home of California Action Coalition accountable to carry out the Institute of Medicine Future of Nursing Recommendations  CINHC partners with nursing leaders and health care organizations to develop practical solutions in 4 key areas: Statewide Master Plan (White Paper Nursing Education Redesign) Expanding educational capacity Increasing workforce & diversity recruitment and retention initiatives Developing nurse leaders capable in meeting challenges of a changing environment 3

4. California Picture: Substantial Progress in RN Workforce Growth  400,000+ Licensed RNs in California: 14% of USA (2013)  657 employed RN’s per 100,000 population California ranks low at 48 (National average = 825)  Number of new RNs grew 83% past 10 years  Workforce becoming more diverse in last decade - proportion non-white RNs increasing from 23% to 47% - proportion of males increasing from 5.8% to 11.6%  BSN prepared RN candidates doubled (2001-2012)  86.3% increase - annual number RN to BSN program graduates over the last four years (1,600 graduates in 2012)  53% of the RN workforce holds a bachelor’s or higher degree 4

5. Snap Shot of New Graduate RN Hiring In California Hospitals (2013) Hospital vacancy rates trending low 3.8% (2013) Supply (# newly licensed RNs) and forecasted workforce demand (# of RNs needed) currently “in balance” Impact of economic crisis and shift in health care services are changing employment settings and hiring patterns 69% employed in hospitals 2012 (88% 2007) Statewide employer surveys reflect education hiring trends BSN preferred 68% or BSN required 7% Statewide survey of new RN graduates found differences in employment rates by type of degree (within first 12 months after receiving RN license) ADN 55% BSN 63% ELM 68% 5

6. The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health (Institute of Medicine Report 2009) 6

7. Institute of Medicine (IOM) under direction of Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) commissioned report- “The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health” Campaign for Action formed as a result by RWJF Center to Champion Nursing in America (CCNA) RWJF at AARP formed to implement the recommendations Action Coalitions formed across the US, now 51 of them [in CA- California Action Coalition (CAAC)] to work on implementing these recommendations at the state level

8. National Recommendations and Campaign for Action 1. Remove scope of practice barriers 2. Expand opportunities for nurse to lead and diffuse collaboration 3. Implement nurse residency programs 4. Increase the proportion of nurses with BSN degrees to 80% by 2020 5. Double the number of nurses with doctorate by 2020 6. Ensure that nurses engage in lifelong learning 7. Prepare and enable nurses to lead change to advance health 8. Build an infrastructure for the collection and analysis of inter-professional health care workforce data 8

9. Registered Nurses: Potential to Effect Wide-Reaching Healthcare Change ! 9 Largest component of health care workforce Spend most time with patients Understand care process across continuum of care Evidence links them to high-quality patient care

10. Compelling Challenges: Healthcare More nurses prepared at higher levels of education are needed to meet evolving healthcare demands  Aging population, complex health management  Health care reform with trends toward non acute care settings/home health/public health (BSN degree includes Community/Public Health Certification)  Specialty care and advanced practice roles including primary care providers (APNs, Nurse Practitioners)  Emerging “new "roles for nursing involving care coordination and managing patient populations  Nursing faculty, leadership, and research positions F

11. Compelling Challenges: Higher Educated Workforce Education mix of new graduates in California (2013 N=11,292) 57% ADN 37% BSN 6% ELM  RN workforce with BSN or higher degree (increased 14.2% since 1990, relatively flat last 6 years) 54.1% (2006) 53.9% (2008) 53.2% (2010) 53.2% (2012)  IOM Goal: 80% BSN or higher degree in RN workforce by 2020  California’s challenge: - Large ADN workforce (47% < BSN Degree or 188,888 nurses) - Large number of ADN graduates entering workforce each year - Barriers to return to school for higher degree (only 22% of RNs return) - Average time for ADN nurses who do obtain BSN degree: 9.4years - Limited number of RN to BSN programs in California: 33 programs (1,600 nurses graduated in 2013) and reduced state funding to CSUs - Workforce diversity gap compared to general population 11

15. Compelling Opportunity: Career Mobility and Increased Salary With BSN-MSN Degree  Broader job opportunities in a greater range of settings  Potential for promotion to specialized roles  Annual income reported by California RNs (2012 USF Statewide Sample Survey conducted for the BRN) 15 Degree or Role Associate Degree$84,839 Baccalaureate Degree$92,326 Master’s Degree$99,042 Public Health Nurse (BSN or MSN)$90,715 Nurse Practitioner (MSN)$93,493 Clinical Nurse Specialist (MSN)$100,482

16. Strategies and Initiatives to Advance Academic Progression (ADN to BSN) Implement emerging models for ADN to BSN Education Strengthen employer partnerships in academic program growth; increase clinical education capacity Provide financial and professional support to employees to return to school for BSN or MSN degrees Engage broad student interest to advance diversity Support academic success (K-12 and High School) and with currently enrolled nursing students - retention Expand funding - support for public school growth of BSN and MSN programs (CSUs) Increase BSN & MSN workforce through seamless access to various education pathway options 16

19. California Collaborative Model of ADN to BSN Education (CCMNE) (CINHC sponsored model) 11/19 CSUs and 50/78 CCCs have implemented a dual enrollment CCMNE program with shared curriculum for streamlined ADN to BSN degree mobility AB 1295 signed into law requiring no duplication of coursework between CCCs and CSUs Leadership support from CSU & CCC Chancellors Offices to adopt and agree on BSN pre-requisites statewide; all CSUs developed ADN to BSN curriculum “roadmaps” Model leverages ethnic diversity found in Community College student population Model supports access for economically disadvantaged students to obtain a BSN degree Model reduces time and cost for students to obtain a BSN 19

21. RN-BSN has been an important mission of the SON for 60 years Several on-site programs during these years at area medical centers to educate nursing employees from ADN- BSN and BSN to MSN Alliance with several community colleges for transition programs have been made in various configurations Continue to provide a “traditional” RN-BSN program for working nurses through state support

22. Increase the number of registered nurses educated at the baccalaureate (BSN) degree based on the Associate Degree (AD) as a foundation. Increase access to BSN education in a seamless, timely and cost effective manner. Increases number of nurses from economically and socially disadvantaged groups who have a BSN degree.

23. Administered by the American Organization of Nurse Executives (AONE) on behalf of the Tri-Council for Nursing consisting of – American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) National League for Nursing (NLN) American Nurse Association (ANA) These organizations represent nurses in practice, nurse executives and nurse educators

24. Grant offered by RWJF - $300,000 for 2 years to Action Coalitions that could show they would increase the number of BSN nurses in their state Nine states chosen- California, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Montana, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Texas and Washington. California will focus on implementation of collaborative model of nursing education- CSULA and ten community colleges

26. October 11, 2009- Governor signed this Assembly Bill Calls for systemic change requiring the Chancellor of the CSU to implement seamless articulated nursing degree pathways between California Community Colleges (CCC) and CSU prior to the 2012-2013 academic year. Removes system barriers to seamless progression of nursing education

27. Identify additional components to be included that provide a streamlined nursing degree transfer pathway AB 1295 requires that by Fall 2012 the California State University AND the California Community College Chancellor’s Offices must implement “articulated nursing degree pathways.” No duplication of BRN pre-licensure or ADN required course content No repeat of prerequisite courses or course content required for the ADN
