                                BILL NUMBER:S2640

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the education law, in relation to enacting
the "Nurse of Tomorrow Act of 2013" to provide for
grants to public and not-for-profit hospitals,
skilled nursing facilities, schools
and other entities for
nurse recruitment, education and retention
costs and activities

PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:
To create a Nurse of Tomorrow program, modeled after the New York
State Teacher of Tomorrow program enacted last year, designed to help
alleviate the shortage of qualified registered nurses in hospitals
and nursing homes. The bill would provide various incentives to
encourage current registered nurses to remain in the profession and
students to enter the profession.

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:
Amends the Education Law by adding a new section 3613 to provide for
the Nurse of Tomorrow recruitment, education and retention incentive
program. Authorizes the commissioner to award grants to public and
not-for-profit hospitals and skilled nursing facilities to provide:
salary bonuses for nurses who make a commitment to work in the

hospital or skilled nursing facility for a multi-year period, and who
have not been practicing nursing for a period of at least five years;
skills training and career development of nurses to become certified
in clinical specialty areas experiencing shortages in hospitals or
skilled nursing facilities; grants to encourage nurses to upgrade
their skills to enable them to work in clinical specialty areas
experiencing shortages; salary bonuses for non-management nurses who
recruit nurses that stay employed at the hospital or skilled nursing
facility for at least one year; and other nurse retention and
recruitment strategies approved by the commissioner. Provides for the
commissioner to give preference to public and not-for-profit
hospitals and skilled nursing facilities applicants in financial need
as demonstrated by low or negative operating margins, and to enter
into contracts with associate degree-granting
schools of nursing, including but not limited to single-purpose
degree granting institutions affiliated with not-for-profit or public
hospitals, for the purpose of expanding the number of students who
are provided basic nurse education at such schools; and provides for
the commissioner to give Preference to applicants that have
demonstrated the ability to recruit and create a multicultural
student body; provides remedial education to help students with
diverse needs.

JUSTIFICATION:
In recent years, it has become increasingly apparent that the nation is
suffering from the shortage of nurses. This problem affects all areas,
especially the urban and rural regions. The American Association of
Colleges of Nursing (AACN) reported that enrollments in bachelor's
degree nursing programs have declined consistently over the past five
years nationwide, dropping 4.5% in 1999 alone with enrollments


dropping even more precipitously in the Northeast. As far back as
1996, before the great decline in the number of qualified nurses was
noted, the National Advisory Council on Nursing Education and
Practice (NACNEP) predicted a shortage of registered nurses (RNs)
beginning around 2010.

The NACNEP further estimated that the shortfall would reach over 10%
of supply by 2020. In New York, a 1999 survey done by the Greater New
York Hospital. Association showed high nurse vacancy rates,
particularly in critical care areas, emergency departments, and
operating rooms. In addition, 83% of hospitals reported that more
than a third of the direct care RN workforce is between ages 40 and
49, and in SO% of he hospitals, more than 20% of the direct care RN
workforce is between ages 50 and 59. These data raise the concern
that a large number of nurses will be retiring in the near future.
Therefore, the aging workforce and low enrollments of young people in
the profession indicate that the shortage we currently experience
will only get worse.
