As the population ages, the question of whether there will be enough nurses to care for them begs an answer. This study examines the career aspirations of new graduate nurses using data from the NSNA New Graduate Survey for the 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 academic years. While most graduates sought positions in acute care, interest in specialties focused on aging, chronic care, and community health remained minimal. Inspiring interest in these areas requires innovative educational strategies, including gerontology-focused curricula, simulation-based learning, community outreach, and clinical placements in elder care. Mentorship, workforce incentives, and highlighting career growth opportunities are essential for recruiting nurses into these fields. A collaborative effort between academia and healthcare institutions is crucial to addressing the growing demand for nurses with expertise in managing aging and chronically ill populations. Sustained efforts will enhance the nursing workforce's preparedness, ensuring the quality and safety of patient care while fostering meaningful and rewarding careers. pubtype: Periodical doctype: Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
