Join us for a focused Friday Huddle Extended Cut on April 17 at 9:00 am where we'll explore our new report Understanding Oregon's Nursing Workforce: Supply, Demand, and Distribution. This session will dig into what's really driving hiring challenges across Oregon — and why the story is more complex than a simple nursing shortage.
What to expect:
- A short overview of key findings from the report (supply growth, regional distribution gaps, educational attainment trends, and hiring challenges by care setting)
- Discussion of what these findings mean for nursing workforce planning across Oregon's diverse communities
- Time for questions and discussion — bring your insights and questions
Why attend:
- Get a clear, data-grounded view of how statewide nursing growth can coexist with localized shortages
- Understand how practice environments, leadership structures, and community-level factors shape where nurses choose to work
- Gain insight into strategies for improving workforce stability and healthcare access beyond simply increasing supply
Who should attend: Nursing workforce planners, healthcare leaders, HR and staffing professionals, educators, policymakers, and anyone working to strengthen access to care across Oregon's regions.
We hope you'll join us!
