The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) has released data collected from the National Sample Survey of Registered Nurses (NSSRN). This survey data was last released in 2008 and is the principal source of information on the nursing workforce: the largest group of health care professionals.
|
|
The data from these periodic surveys provide the basis for evaluating trends and projecting the future supply of nurses. HRSA programs use the information collected to assess nursing requirements at the state and national level.
|
|
Registered nurses participating in the survey answer questions relating to their profession as well as their experience in the field of nursing.

Clinical Scholar Workshop: February 10 -14, 2020
|
Clinical Scholar Workshop:
|
Are you an experienced nurse who would like to share your wealth of knowledge with men and women entering your profession? If so, we need nurses like you to become Clinical Scholars!
|
|
What is a Clinical Scholar?
|
A Clinical Scholar is a Baccalaureate level or more highly academically prepared registered nurse who will work with a school of nursing to instruct nursing students in a clinical setting. In general, Clinical Scholars maintain their current employment in a clinical facility and ideally host nursing students there. Clinical Scholars assist with the valuable, hands-on instruction that can only be provided by skilled, seasoned nurses. Additionally, Clinical Scholars will be involved in the evaluation of nursing students.
|
|
Upon completion of the five-day course, the expectation is that the Clinical Scholar will be actively involved in teaching nursing students. Because of the high demand for this education, you should only register if clinical teaching is something that you want to pursue at the present time and fits within your current employment situation.
