A nursing workforce initiative in Maryland sought to graduate additional nursing students to become registered nurses and to increase the number and preparation levels of nursing faculty. Between FY 2006 and FY 2015, nearly $100 million was awarded through 109 competitive institutional grants at 27 nursing programs across the state; 950 faculty received awards through fellowships, scholarships, and grants. Maryland's nursing workforce intervention increased the number of graduates by 27% through this decade-long program. Although Maryland outperformed the nation in the rate of increase of registered nurses, there is still a projected state shortfall of 12,100 nurses by 2025. It is imperative for nurse researchers and nurse leaders to address the future nursing and nurse faculty workforce shortage using effective strategies based on empirical evidence and evaluation of outcomes. This program evaluation informed the decision to continue investments in the nursing and faculty workforce (up to $75 million) for an additional 5 years.

护理人员干预计划评估：马里兰州护士支持计划II。

马里兰州的一项护理劳动力计划试图使更多的护理学生毕业，以成为注册护士，并增加护理人员的数量和准备水平。从2006财年到2015财年，全州27个护理项目通过109项竞争性机构补助金获得了近1亿美元；950名教职员工通过奖学金，奖学金和助学金获得了奖项。通过这项长达十年的计划，马里兰州的护理人员干预措施使毕业生人数增加了27％。尽管马里兰州的注册护士人数增长率超过了全美，但预计到2025年，该州仍将有12,100名护士短缺。护士研究人员和护士领导者必须使用基于经验证据和结果评估的有效策略来解决未来的护理和护士教职员工短缺问题。这项计划评估决定了继续在护理和教职员工上投资（最多7500万美元），为期5年的决定。
