In the fall of 1997, the Idaho Commission of Nursing and Nursing Education undertook a survey of Idaho nurses to collect data on future workforce and educational needs. The results of the survey demonstrated substantial attitudinal differences between licensed practical nurses and registered nurses in the areas of educational motivation, role differentiation, skills by type of nurse, trends in nursing supply, and educational preparation. Given that the Idaho workforce is comparable to the national nursing workforce in numbers, educational background, and age, these findings have implications for health policy planners and nursing educators throughout the country. This article presents the findings and then uses the data as a basis for suggesting their implications for nursing education and workforce planning.
1997年秋，爱达荷州护理与护理教育委员会对该州护士进行了一项调查，以收集有关未来劳动力和教育需求的数据。调查结果表明，在教育动机、角色差异、护士类型技能、护理人员供应趋势和教育准备等方面，执业护士和注册护士之间存在显著的态度差异。鉴于爱达荷州的劳动力在数量、教育背景和年龄方面与全国护理劳动力相当，这些调查结果对全国的卫生政策规划者和护理教育工作者具有启示意义。本文呈现了调查结果，并以此数据为基础，提出这些结果对护理教育和劳动力规划的启示。
