Future RN Shortages in New York?

• In NY, RN supply seems to be in balance with RN

demand

• Impact of ‘BSN in 10’ unknown
• ADN programs vital to assuring supply of RNs upstate,

particularly in rural areas

• Linkages between ADN and BSN programs are critical

(articulation, etc.)

• Affordable on-line options for BSN completion must be

developed and promoted

• Need for better data on the state’s nursing workforce
