Leader Exchange: Building a Stronger Pipeline of Nurses
Addressing the Nursing Shortage with Innovative Education Pathways
This session of Leader Exchange will discuss the importance of taking a programmatic approach to building a local pipeline of nurses. As we face the current state and outlook of an increasing nursing shortage, learn how executive leaders at St. Joseph’s Medical Center and Cleveland Clinic have helped construct two unique pathways for community members and hospital employees to become nurses.
Learn about the origins and evolution of each respective program, including key metrics such as the number of new nurses created and graduation rates, as well as their specific focus on perioperative nursing. Finally, gain practical advice on how to plan and implement similar initiatives in your own hospital and surrounding community.
