Abstract
Wisconsin, like much of the nation, is currently suffering from a growing nursing shortage. The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire College of Nursing and Health Sciences, in partnership with the UW-Madison, UW-Milwaukee and UW-Oshkosh nursing programs, took advantage of an University of Wisconsin System Incentive Grant for economic and workforce development to address this problem. With a 3.2 million dollar award, the Nurses for Wisconsin goal was to increase the number of Registered Nurses (RNs) by expanding the nursing education capacity within the University of Wisconsin System. Nurses for Wisconsin has accelerated the preparation of nursing faculty by encouraging nurses to enroll in a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) or PhD programs with preand post-doctoral fellowship awards ranging from $21,500 to $90,000, and recruitment of faculty with a loan forgiveness program of up to $50,000. In exchange, fellows and faculty made a three-year teaching commitment to teach in a UW-System nursing program. Conferences directed toward mentoring nurse educators were also scheduled for the fall of 2014 and summer of 2015.
