An updated version of the Nursing Supply Model that uses the data from the 1996 National Sample Survey of Registered Nurses is now available on diskette for purchase. This is a statistically based computer program that projects the future population, supply, and FTE supply of Registered Nurses for each of the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and the United States as a whole, according to the highest level of nursing education.
Users can alter a variety of input data for one or more States, as needed.
As presently constructed, this model will operate only in a DOS environment. Conversions to the Windows environment are planned for the year 2000. The NTIS accession number is PB97-503353. The model package includes all materials necessary to the operation of the computer-based model and understanding of its analytical underpinnings. The Nursing Demand Model Based Requirements Forecasting Model was most recently published in 1997.
