N2K NURSE EDUCATION PROGRAM
Oregon faces a unique challenge and crisis in our healthcare system. As our population grows, and as baby boomers retire and age, significant shortages are occurring in our healthcare workforce – particularly in the critical nursing profession.
Jobs already go unfilled – and not because Oregonians are disinterested in entering this well-paying, satisfying profession. There are too few slots available at our universities and community colleges to meet the growing need. Unless we can expand our capacity to create new nurses, our healthcare system and the health of our State are in jeopardy.
The Oregon Health Career Center N2K Nursing Education Program is helping to address this shortage throughout Oregon. This innovative model efficiently joins healthcare provider organizations and colleges to create new nurses from within the employers’ existing workforce.
