It was so fun to launch WCN's newest workshop to inspire middle school students to choose nursing as a career called Healthy Minds Healthy Futures. Students learn about different types of pain, health ways to deal with them and how nurses can help. An effort to provide mental health and substance use disorder prevention education, Highline College nursing students and Professors Amy and Beth presented the workshop to four middle school classes in Kent yesterday.

If you’ve felt the strain in nursing, you’re not imagining it.

Washington’s nursing workforce is navigating profound shifts — and the old ways of solving problems are no longer enough.

Real solutions require three commitments:
• Better data
• Broader collaboration
• And meaningful inclusion of the nurses delivering care every day

During Nurses Week, the Washington Center for Nursing invites you to step inside the numbers.

Join us for a fast-paced 30–40 minute breakdown of the 2025 Washington State of the Nursing Workforce Research Report (https://bit.ly/4cxfJ54), followed by 20 minutes of open Q&A.

You’ll walk away with:
• A clearer understanding of what’s happening statewide
• Insight into trends affecting your practice
• Context for the policy and workforce decisions ahead
• A chance to ask questions and share your perspective

Great to connect with the Deans and Directors of schools of nursing in Washington state these last few days. Higher education is extremely challenged these days and as a nurse leader reminded us, "Conflict is the work."

Washington’s nursing workforce is at a turning point.

The challenges we face are real — and complex. Burnout. Workforce shortages. Education bottlenecks. Shifting care demands. The ground has moved beneath us.

If we’re going to solve these issues, it will take more than conversation. It will take commitment:
• A commitment to collecting and using high-quality data
• A commitment to inclusive, statewide collaboration
• A commitment to bold, future-forward solutions shaped by the voices of patient-facing nurses

Doing things the way they’ve always been done no longer works.
During Nurses Week, join the Washington Center for Nursing for a dynamic presentation of the 2025 Washington State of the Nursing Workforce Research Report (https://bit.ly/4cxfJ54).

In 30–40 minutes, we’ll break down what the data is actually telling us — and what it means for nurses, educators, employers, and policymakers across Washington. Then we’ll open the floor for 20 minutes of discussion and questions.

The State of Nursing in Washington: What the Data Reveals About Our Future

During Nurses Week, join the Washington Center for Nursing for a dynamic look at the 2025 Washington State of the Nursing Workforce Research Report (https://bit.ly/4cxfJ54).

This isn’t just numbers on a page. It’s the story of:
• Who is entering the profession — and who is leaving
• What’s happening with student capacity & clinical placements
• Where shortages are most critical
• What burnout trends are telling us
• What this means for you & your organization

In just 30–40 minutes, we’ll break down the most important findings in a clear, practical way — followed by 20 minutes of open Q&A and discussion.

Bring your questions. Bring your perspective.

This is your chance to understand the data shaping nursing policy, education, and workforce decisions across Washington.

Excited to share the work of WCN at this conference. Our 2024 report on nurse burnout showed 23% of underrepresented nurses of color and 28% of nurses age 20-30 planned to leave their employer in the next year. I'll be sharing work putting in motion strategies on mental health, positive work environments, compliance & regulation, increasing workforce diversity, and technology utilization.

WCN releases the Washington Nursing Retention & Burnout Workgroup Action Plan for FY 2026 on Priority Statewide Recommendations and Key Strategies, along with nursing workforce well-being infographics!

Findings from the 2024 WCN Burnout Survey found that.
• 66% of nurses ages 31–40 plan to leave due to burnout.
• Only 16.7% report access to mental health services.
• 49% say workloads are unsafe for patients.

These findings demand action.

The WCN convened statewide workgroups comprised of nurses and nursing workforce partners to respond, developing the Washington action plan for nursing workforce well-being.

The report and infographics outline strategic priorities, action steps, and measurable solutions across five areas:

• Reducing documentation burden
• Expanding mental health access
• Leveraging technology to ease workload
• Implementing Joy in Work® frameworks
• Strengthening pathways for internationally educated nurses

🔗 Follow the link to read the report and explore key strategies: https://www.wcnursing.org/data-reports-publications/

We invite employers, educators, nurses, and policy leaders to explore and share these resources widely.
