  • Title: State funding for higher education and RN replacement rates by state: a case for nursing by the numbers in state legislatures.
    Author: Bargagliotti LA.
    Journal: Nurs Outlook; 2009; 57(5):274-80. PubMed ID: 19789005.
    Abstract:
    Amid an enduring nursing shortage and state budget shortfalls, discerning how the percentage of state funding to higher education and other registered nurse (RN) workforce variables may be related to the RN replacement rates (RNRR) in states has important policy implications. Regionally, the age of RNs was inversely related to RNRR. State funding in 2000 significantly predicted the 2004 RNRR, with the percentage of LPNs in 2004 adding to the model. The stability of the model using 2000 and 2004 funding data suggests that state funding creates a climate for RNRR.
