Introduction The Florida Center for Nursing (FCN) was established in 2001 to address issues related to Florida’s nurse supply and demand (Florida Statute §464.0195). Consistent with Florida statute (§464.019), the FCN evaluated data for approved and accredited nursing programs in the state of Florida for academic year (AY) 2022-2023. This report provides information about the nursing education programs in Florida, including the programs’ capacity, enrollment, graduates, and demographic data that potentially contribute to the state’s nursing workforce. Prelicensure nursing programs are the pipeline to the nursing workforce. It is critical for nursing programs to prepare candidates prepared for success on the national licensure examination and fill vacant and new positions. A consistent inability for employers to fill vacant nursing positions may result in decreased access to quality and safe nursing care for the people and visitors of Florida. All data are presented in an aggregate format. In addition to statewide findings, the FCN deems it critical to evaluate nursing education program data at the regional level. The FCN divides the state into 8 geographic regions: East Central Region- Brevard, Flagler, Lake, Orange, Osceola, Seminole, Sumter, and Volusia counties. North Central Region- Alachua, Bradford, Citrus, Columbia, Dixie, Gadsden, Gilchrist, Hamilton, Jefferson, Lafayette, Leon, Levy, Madison, Marion, Suwannee, Taylor, Union, and Wakulla counties. Northeast Region- Baker, Clay, Duval, Nassau, Putnam, and St. Johns counties. Northwest Region- Bay, Calhoun, Escambia, Franklin, Gulf, Holmes, Jackson, Liberty, Okaloosa, Santa Rosa, Walton, and Washington counties. South Region- Broward, Miami-Dade, and Monroe counties. Southeast Region- Indian River, Martin, Okeechobee, Palm Beach, and St. Lucie counties. Southwest Region- Charlotte, Collier, Glades, Hendry, and Lee counties. West Central Region- Desoto, Hardee, Hernando, Highlands, Hillsborough, Manatee, Pasco, Pinellas, Polk, and Sarasota counties.

Survey Methodology Nursing education programs were identified from the Florida Department of Health Division of Medical Quality Assurance (MQA) Search Services website (https://mqa-internet.doh.state.fl.us/MQASearchServices/NursingPrograms), which maintains an updated database of Practical Nursing (PN), Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN), prelicensure Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) programs, and entry into practice Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) programs by National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) code. The search service does not track post-licensure nursing programs that do not lead to a new license. Survey respondents with a prelicensure NCLEX code were able to provide information on affiliated post-licensure programs. Prelicensure nursing programs include prelicensure programs offered by Florida state universities, colleges, public school districts, private institutions licensed by the Florida Commission for Independent Education (CIE), private institutions that are members of the Independent Colleges and Universities of Florida (ICUF), and religious institutions authorized by law to offer nursing programs. Post-licensure RN programs advance the training of licensed RNs and include Registered Nurse to Bachelor of Science in Nursing (RN to BSN), Master of Science in Nursing (MSN), Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP), Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) programs, and nursing certificates. Upon completion of some masters and doctorate programs, registered nurses transition to an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) license. These roles include Nurse Practitioner (NP), Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM), Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS), Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA).
Data Collection The “FCN Nursing Education Program Survey” was an electronic survey sent to PN and RN programs with NCLEX codes. Email invitations and reminders were sent to the last known contact identified on surveys submitted in 2022. Additional outreach efforts were made via phone and email when addresses or contact information were deemed invalid. Surveys were accessible between September 5, 2023 through October 19, 2023. Programs were asked to report data about the 2022-2023 academic year (AY). The AY 2022-2023 is defined as the Fall (August/September) 2022 term through the Summer (July/August) 2023 term. Surveys could be saved then completed and submitted later.
Measures Capacity. Capacity is measured in terms of number of nursing programs and quantities that the programs can produce. The following definitions were used to determine capacity of nursing programs: • Number of vacant student seats: the maximum possible number of new students that could enroll in a program in a single academic year (includes first-time enrollees and re-admits). • Number of applications received: the number of students that submitted applications for admission for AY 2022-2023. • Number of qualified applicants: the total number of program applicants who met the minimum admission standards. • Number of students admitted: the number of qualified applicants that were accepted into the program. This includes newly admitted students and re-admits (i.e., students previously in the nursing program who dropped out and had to reapply for admission). • Number of admitted students who enrolled: Enrolled students include those that registered for course work and paid fees.

Student Retention. Retention rates consider the proportion of a cohort of newly enrolled students that have graduated or are still enrolled one year later, compared to those that leave without completing their degree program. Survey participants were asked to report on the status of a cohort of students in a generic traditional program one year after their first enrollment in either Fall 2021, Spring 2022, or Summer 2022. Budgeted, Filled, and Vacant Faculty Positions. In this section, respondents reported the number of budgeted faculty positions and vacancies, the composition of the program’s faculty, and current and future need for additional faculty positions. Full-time faculty were defined as instructional, administrative, or research staff of the nursing academic unit who are employed full-time as defined by the institution, hold academic rank, carry the full scope of faculty responsibility (e.g., teaching, advisement, committee work), and receive rights and privileges associated with full-time employment. These faculty members may be tenured, tenure-track, or non-tenure track. Part-time faculty were defined as instructional, administrative, or research staff of the nursing academic unit who are employed part-time as defined by the institution, may or may not hold academic rank, carry responsibility for a specific area (e.g., teaching a single course), and may carry any number of titles (e.g., adjunct, clinical instructor). Institution Characteristics. Respondents reported the category that best describes their institution: public non-profit school, private non-profit school, or proprietary (private, for-profit) school. Demographic Characteristics of Faculty and Students. Respondents reported number of faculty and students by race/ ethnicity. Race and ethnicity categories included American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian, Black non-Hispanic, Hispanic/ Latino, Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander, White non-Hispanic, Other, and Unknown.

Next Steps The Florida Center for Nursing (FCN) aims to generate and disseminate valid and reliable information to the public and stakeholders representative of nurses, other health care providers, business and industry, consumers, lawmakers, and educators. The FCN will continue to analyze nursing education programmatic data and report findings annually. While the FCN aims to disseminate the most accurate information with the highest level of transparency, there are certain limitations that could impact the findings in this report. With obstacles in data acquisition, data transfer, and manual analyzation of data, there is a certain level of uncertainty and possible misclassification. The FCN strives to improve these processes and will continue doing so in the future. The FCN will utilize findings from the Nursing Education Program Report to guide development of Florida’s strategic statewide plan for the nursing workforce.
