According to Administrators of Nursing Education in Wisconsin, âIn 2018, Wisconsin nursing schools turned away over 1,000 students who wanted to enter the nursing profession or advance their education and improve their clinical skills.â Those rejections exacerbate the problem of how the Department of Workforce Development predicts that in 2025 Wisconsin will have a shortage of between 2,300 and 6,300 nurses.
Fixing that âbottleneckâ of too few educators is then critical to addressing the Silver Tsunami, ANEW argues.
Beyond that, educators say that Wisconsin needs to train the next generation of medical professionals to better serve the needs of the future than to continue with the status quo â that is, to train young nurses and doctors to work outside of hospital settings than in them.
