Key Findings - MSN MSN Enrollment Trends over 5 Years Largest increases: NP Track – 62% increase in applicants over 5 years Leadership – 48% increase in applicants over 5 years

Key Findings - Doctoral DNP Programs 25% ↑ in number of DNP programs 76% ↑ in students enrolled in DNP programs PhD Programs Stable enrollment over 5 years

Key Findings – Factors limiting Acceptance of Students Limited Clinical Sites #1 for ADN programs over past 5 years #1 for BSN and MSN programs from 2010-2012 Only 67% of reporting schools reported using simulation in lieu of clinical hours in 2014 Limited Number of Qualified Students #1 for BSN and MSN programs for 2013-2014 For doctoral programs Limited Number of Qualified Faculty For MSN and doctoral programs over past 5 years

Key Findings – Nursing Faculty Distribution of Full-time Faculty by Age

Key Findings – Nursing Faculty Preparation 14.6% of all faculty are PhD prepared 30% of Full-time faculty are PhD prepared Diversity Race/Ethnicity 85% White/Caucasian 7.5% Black/African American 2% Hispanic/Latino 5% Asian 1% Alaskan/American Indian Gender 93% Female

Key Findings – Student Diversity Race/Ethnicity of Students in BSN Programs over 5 years

Key Findings – Student Diversity Race/Ethnicity of Students in MSN and Doctoral Programs Doctoral MSN Clinical Track

Key Findings – Student Diversity Gender of Students in BSN Programs over past 5 Years

Recommendations Find a way to increase response rate LPN programs are a conduit to RN programs: Encourage participation in survey We have ↓ number of students being admitted and an ↑ number of “qualified applicants” being turned away from ADN and BSN programs. Areas for further examination include: What are schools criteria for “qualified applicants”? How are schools reporting number of students not admitted? How is the lack of qualified faculty and/or resources impacting admission of qualified applicants?

Recommendations Monitor simulation use as a strategy to impact the factor of “limited clinical sites” in ADN and BSN programs Change item in survey to reflect simulation use by program Pilot the use of the Wisconsin Diversity Assessment Tool in schools of nursing to encourage diversity in race/ethnicity and gender Further studies to examine the impact of faculty role and work environment to better understand the stagnation of enrollment in PhD programs and decreasing numbers of PhD prepared faculty

Survey Response Current survey reflects the National Minimum DataSet Many questions asked in survey are not reported on in results Survey fatigue Need survey to be meaningful to deans and educators
