Nursing and Allied Health Shortage

• Students
• Large number of qualified applicants for Nursing
  and Allied Health educational programs, but
  limited slots available.
• 86 of health profession graduates stay and work
  in Oklahoma.
• Faculty
• Shortage in Nursing faculty
• Many nursing faculty plan to retire in the next 5
  years
• Nursing faculty often leave for higher paying
  jobs in Hospitals.
• Similar pattern exists in allied health fields.
• Resource Issues
• Budget cuts in the early part of the decade
  exacerbated the shortage
• Clinical space not available in all parts of the
  state
• Nursing and allied health faculty needed.
• Current funding structure makes it difficult to
  quickly expand high-cost programs.
• Faculty salaries need to be raised to compete
  with the local healthcare industry rates to
  maintain faculty.

Possible outcome

• To meet the demand for Oklahoma healthcare
  professionals, Oklahoma colleges and universities
  will need to supply additional graduates.
• Admit additional qualified applicants into high
  demand programs.
• Hire additional faculty in Nursing and Allied
  Health programs based upon geographic workforce
  needs and institutional capabilities
• Increase faculty salaries toward the goal of
  paying at the 60th percentile.
• Train additional faculty at OUHSC
• Current OSRHE Initiative
• In this fiscal year, OSRHE allocated to Western
  Oklahoma State College an additional 450,000 for
  the purpose of doubling the number of Associate
  Degree Nursing degrees awarded annually from 44
  to 88.
