About Us
The Maryland Nursing Workforce Center (MNWC) collects, analyzes, and reports on the state's nursing workforce.

We aim to:
- provide access to data and assist with the analysis of nursing workforce data;
- understand the areas of demand and the resources needed to meet those demands;
- and ensure the State of Maryland is meeting the recommendation set forth in the Institute of Medicine’s 2010 Future of Nursing report that calls for improving collection methods of workforce data.
The MNWC was founded in July 2018 by a Nurse Support Program II (NSP II) grant, which is funded through the Maryland Health Services Cost Review Commission and administered by the Maryland Higher Education Commission.
