SECTION 1: NURSING SUPPLY
The following charts are prepared using the Iowa Board of Nursing annual reports from 2003 to 2013. The graphs illustrate trends in Iowa and provide a basis of comparison for Registered Nurse (RN) and Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) data.
Note: In Iowa, nurses may hold RN and LPN licenses concurrently. For this reason, the categories are not mutually exclusive on the following charts. Chart 1
The number of active RNs shows a slight, steady increase since 2003, with a 20%
increase overall. Likewise, the number of active LPNs has increased 15% overall since 2003, but shows a decrease of 556 active licensees between 2012 and 2013.
Note: The Nurse Licensure Compact became effective in Iowa on July 1, 2000. For in-formation about the multi-state licensure compact, visit the Iowa Board of Nursing web-site at: nursing.iowa.gov.

The number of active LPNS in Iowa increased from 9,772 in 2003 to 12,088 in 2011, a net gain of 2,316. The number of active LPNs decreased by two (2) between 2011 and 2012, and dipped by 556 between 2012 and 2013. This aligns, partly, with the reduced number of LPN graduates from nursing programs.

An increase in the number of actively licensed LPNs under the age of 39 now out-
paces the number of LPNs ages 40 to 59. In 2013, the largest cohort of active LPNs were in the 30 to 39 year age range, fol-
lowed by those ages 50 to 59. A slight increase in the 60 to 69 age range is seen. These may be nurses who con-
tinue to license, but may not be actively practicing. Age data is compared every two years. For the purposes of this illustration, three of the last 10 years of information are displayed.

the last Iowa diploma program in 1999. The Basic Education from associate degree programs continues to outpace licen-
sees who indicate a Baccalaureate degree as their degree upon original licensure.

The total number of Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioners (ARNPs) in Iowa has increased since 2003. The most significant increase among ARNPs from 2012 to 2013 is the Nurse Practitioner category: 327 licensees, or a 20% increase.
Certified Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) have fluctuated in numbers since 2008. Be-
tween 2012 and 2013, an increase of nearly 13%, or 62 licensees, was seen. Between 2012 and 2013, the total number of ARNPs increased by 18%, or 406 li-
censees. Graduation reports for the 2012-2013 school year indicated 495 students attained DNP, Post Masters or Master’s degrees from Iowa schools.

Chart 10
All degree categories identified by RNs as their highest degree held have shown an increase since 2003 with the exception of the Diploma. There are no Diploma Nurs-ing Programs in Iowa, which is reflected by the decrease in Diploma Basic RN Edu-cation.
A 14% increase occurred between 2012 and 2013 for RNs who reported a master’s in nursing as their highest degree.
There was a 1.2% increase in the number of licensees reporting a bachelor’s degree in nursing, or a total of 27.5% of Iowa’s nurse licensees.
Iowa RNs with a BSN or MSN or DNP as their highest degree total 34.7% of the total licensees.
Note: Faculty members who teach nursing theory must hold a master’s degree in nursing or an applicable field, or make progress toward such a degree.

The number of RN graduates steadily increased between 2003 and 2008, with a
slight decrease in the years 2009, 2010 and 2012. In the year 2013, RN Pre-licensure numbers reached 3,118—the highest level in Iowa’s history.
PN graduates continue to decline, after a high of 1,637 graduates seen in 2007. Note: Most nursing education programs at Iowa community colleges are built on a career lad-der concept that prepares graduates to apply for LPN licensure upon completion of the first level (year) and RN licensure upon completion of the second level (year).

After 1988, NCLEX results were reported as Pass/Fail. The examination was converted to computerized adaptive testing (CAT) in April 1994.

Admission Data Admission data is based on the number of students who have met program admission requirements and are taking nursing courses the first day classes meet. Chart 16
Between August 1, 2012 and July 31, 2013: 90 students were admitted to Iowa’s Doctoral Programs.
Between August 1, 2012 and July 31, 2013: 1,221 students were admitted to Iowa’s
academic Masters Programs, an increase of 32% compared to last year, double the number of students when compared to the 2009-2010 school year.
There has been an apparent increase in the number of admissions to Masters Pro-
grams from 2007 to 2013. This is due largely to the rise in online graduate pro-grams.
In 2013, graduate programs in nursing reported 216 students on waiting lists.
