What is demand?
• National benchmarks: Employed RNs per 100,000 • Bureau of Labor Statistics, forecast of 2018
demand • Growth based on current hospital employment &
expected growth in patient days • Potential impact of PPACA

Implications for policy
• How do we define shortage? – Are current employment levels adequate? – Should California be at the national average? 25th
percentile? Bottom? – Economic demand vs. need-based demand
• In this economy… – Demand estimates have dropped and supply is high

What is happening next?
• UCSF, CINHC, and the Hospital Associations is analyzing Year 2 of the employer survey
• UCSF & BRN are nearly done with the 2011-12 Annual Schools Survey
• 2012 BRN Survey of RNs (mailed in spring)
