CNEE to host workforce summit Nov. 5

The Center for Nursing Equity and Excellence (CNEE) is hosting the Minnesota Nursing Workforce Summit Nov. 5. The summit will convene experts to take action in supporting the state’s nursing workforce. The program will include data and predictions on Minnesota’s nursing workforce, summaries of the progress made by the Strategic Priority Task Forces, and a facilitated working session to define and launch work on new pilot programs.

CNEE is Minnesota's official nursing workforce center, launched in 2022 and housed at the University of Minnesota School of Nursing in partnership with Minnesota State. The center partners with every school of nursing in the state, health care providers and others invested in improving health care in Minnesota. It aims to achieve excellence in nursing care and health equity by retaining nurses in the profession, increasing enrollment and graduation in nurse education programs at all degree levels, expanding health equity via nursing workforce, and increasing the success of nursing students.

Nursing employers, nurse educators, chief nurse executives, nursing associations, policy makers, regulatory agencies, state and federal government representatives, businesses and stakeholders are encouraged to attend the summit.

The Minnesota Nursing Workforce Summit is Nov. 5 at 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. at Anoka-Ramsey Community College. Registration is open.
