Nursing Education Statistics
A centralized, national source of credible nursing education information continues to be critical to activities necessary to address the nursing shortage in Canada. The Nursing Education in Canada Statistics, 2009-2010 report, derived from data collected as part of the annual National Student and Faculty Survey of Canadian Schools of Nursing, is the only comprehensive source of national, historical data available to inform research and policy decisions regarding the future supply of nurses in Canada.
The data support effective health human resources planning by providing statistical analysis about:
-
the number of pre-licensure graduates eligible to apply for initial licensure/registration and enter the registered nurse (RN) workforce;
-
the number of RNs obtaining graduate qualifications;
-
the number of nurse practitioner (NP) graduates;
-
innovations in nursing education program access and delivery;
-
the composition of faculty delivering nursing education; and
-
faculty retention, recruitment and leaves of absence.
Highlights of the most recent statistics can be found below.
