States that Conduct Employer Demand Surveys of RNs
To support states interested in collecting data from nurse employers on the demand for nursing personnel, UCSF has collected information about the data collection strategies being used by states. This “toolkit” includes links to survey questionnaires, reports, and contact information for state leaders who can help others develop their own data collection strategies.
