The Nursing Student Admissions Database (NSAD) Workgroup's proposed project received pilot year funding in fall 2007. The goal is to develop a database to begin annually collecting and accurately reporting the "true" numbers (omitting duplicate applicants) of nursing school application and admissions statistics as well as applicant demographic information (e.g., race/ethnicity, age, gender) and enrollment trends for Oregon's 21 associate and baccalaureate degree nursing programs and schools (see reverse). Funding for the NSAD Pilot Project is provided by the Oregon Workforce Investment Board via the Department of Community Colleges & Workforce Development, Employer Workforce Training Fund.
