Urging The University Of Hawaii President And Board Of Regents To Establish A Bachelor Of Science In Nursing Program At The University Of Hawaii Maui Campus.
Impact
The establishment of a Bachelor of Science in Nursing program at the Maui campus aims to create a direct educational pathway for local residents wishing to pursue advanced nursing degrees. This initiative is intended to improve the labor supply of nurses in Maui, addressing the local healthcare needs more effectively. By providing a locally accessible educational program, the resolution could enhance the ability of Maui’s healthcare facilities to train and retain homegrown talent, thus potentially alleviating the existing nurse shortage on the island.
Summary
HCR73 is a House Concurrent Resolution urging the University of Hawaii President and Board of Regents to establish a Bachelor of Science in Nursing program at the University of Hawaii Maui College. The resolution highlights the increasing demand for healthcare services in Maui due to a growing and aging population, which necessitates more qualified nursing professionals in the area. Currently, Maui College provides entry-level nursing training, but many graduates face challenges in advancing their education due to limited local options.
Contention
The resolution emphasizes that while the Hawaii Statewide Nursing Consortium offers a path for graduates to earn their Bachelor's degree at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, significant barriers prevent many from participating, particularly those already working in local healthcare jobs. Furthermore, there is recognition that the availability of clinical placements in Maui can support a dedicated program, contrasting with conditions on Oahu where enrollment expansion is currently stalled. These points underscore the need for dedicated resources and institutional support to realize the proposed nursing program.
