The original building, which cost $8.5 million, was named after Mark Jefferson, head of the geography department from 1901-39. EMU HOME Feature The nursing shortage in Michigan and the country has become critical. A recent report to the Michigan House Health Policy Committee states that Michigan's demand for registered nurses (RNs) is expected to exceed supply by 7,000 nurses in Nov. 11, 2008 issue 2010. There will be a shortage of 18,000 nurses by 2015, according to the Michigan EMU School of Nursing Department of Labor and Economic Growth. injects much needed help into nursing Eastern Michigan University's School of Nursing is expanding its programs to provide shortage some much needed help to ease the situation. "I applaud our nursing faculty for increasing By Ward Mullens opportunities for an additional 102 students in 2009. The recent 94-percent pass rate performance on the --·--- NCLEX exam shows we fOCU§� have an excellent program," said EMU President Susan Martin. "With the support of President Susan Martin, the provost and faculty, in 2009 we are increasing our pre-licensure placements from 80 to IV CHECK: This Eastern Michigan University nursing 112; that's a 40-percent student hangs an IV bag of a mock patient in the increase," said Betty School of Nursing's Skill Lab. The School of Nursing is Beard, interim director expanding its programs to combat a nursing shortage of the EMU School of in the state of Michigan. Nursing. "We also are increasing the number of students in our RN-to-BSN program from 58 to 128 students. That's 140 percent! We're going full speed ahead!" The bachelor of science in nursing (BSN) is a four-year degree program focused on preparing pre-licensure students to become registered nurses, while the BSN completion program helps those with an associate's degree in nursing obtain their bachelor's degree. Recent research shows that hospitals using more BSN-prepared nurses have fewer patient complications and decreased mortality rates. Since patients have much more complex health needs than in the past, it is imperative that they be well prepared educationally. Beard said the commitment from faculty and the administration to find resources to support the increases will mean additional opportunities for students who want to go into nursing. In 2008, EMU's program alone turned away many qualified students. According to Beard, there are more than 500 current EMU students who have expressed intent to be nursing majors. "Most programs talk about whether or not their students will have jobs when they graduate. In nursing, we know that it's not if they will get a job, but what job offer they will take," Beard said. "It's not just about quantity, though," Beard said. "It's about quality as well. One of the quality indicators of any nursing program is the pass rate of students on the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX)." "Our percentage of students who passed the exam on the first try was 94.2 percent from October 2007 to October 2008. The average for Michigan nursing programs was 87 to 88 percent," said Beard.
