CNEE Reports
The CNEE builds reports stemming from strategic planning work, gathered and consolidated nursing workforce data, and more. We also partner and promote the nursing workforce data of others, to provide a one-stop place to find information on Minnesota’s nursing workforce.
CNEE Strategic Priorities 2025-2030
The strategic plan for the Center for Nursing Equity and Excellence outlines a comprehensive framework for advancing nursing workforce development and addressing key challenges facing the profession. By prioritizing nursing pathways, equity, education, simulation, and wellbeing and flourishing, the center aims to build a resilient and responsive nursing workforce capable of delivering high-quality care to diverse populations now and in the future.
CNEE Nursing Workforce Summit Report 2024
The Center for Nursing Equity and Excellence convened Minnesota’s first annual Nursing Workforce Summit on October 9, 2024. We invited key experts and stakeholders from across the state to participate in strategic planning to address the needs of Minnesota’s nursing workforce now and for years to follow.
This summary includes input from 58 leaders in Minnesota, including a broad spectrum across industry, academics, technology, labor, government, urban, suburban and rural settings, equity and diversity stakeholders, leaders, direct care personnel, student support, community colleges, technical colleges, universities, public and private higher education, major healthcare systems, long-term care, home care, and small healthcare agencies. More were invited but some could not fit the day into their schedules.
Eight Strategic Priority Areas are presented along with summarized input from the summit attendees. At the summit, every attendee was asked to reflect and discuss the eight Strategic Priority Areas and give input regarding their top suggestions and innovations. The attendees were then requested to read and “up-up-vote” the ideas presented by the group, to give a sense of prioritization to the input. Those up-votes are highlighted throughout the text to show readers the importance placed on the key items by some attendees. Please note that a lack of up-voting does not in any way detract from the need to accomplish interventions related to the ideas. Rather, the up-voting is a way of prioritizing what may need to be accomplished in the near term versus the later term.
