Did I read that right :uhoh3: ? Out of 25,000 graduating RN student's only 7,000 went on to licensure ? What ? Did they get on the wrong bus !?

NY educates many nurses who move to other states.

Included in these numbers are Excelssor students living outside state, etc....

VITALLY important that SBON does survey to see where graduates are heading at completion of nursing programs to confirm these stats.

Karen -- To what do we attribute the outflux of graduating NY nurses?

Great idea for the follow-up by the BON.
