The Michigan Professional Nurse Development program provides both training opportunities and annual nursing workforce data to support a continuous supply of prepared direct care nurses, nursing faculty, and nursing educational programs while promoting safety in nursing practice.
Transition to Practice
A free, self paced online training course for newly licensed nurses and nurses transitioning to a new care setting. The training consists of 5 courses: Communication in Healthcare, Safety in Healthcare, Evidence-Based Practice, Preventing and Responding to Violence in the Workplace, and Safety and Professionalism in Community-based Nursing Practice (Appendix 1: Further Resources for Trainers). Participants successfully completing each course may choose to earn free nursing continuing education hours.
Nurse Licensure Data and Survey Results
Each year all nurses who are licensed within the State of Michigan are sent an email invitation to participate in Michigan’s annual nurse survey. Results provide information about the supply of and demand for nurses in Michigan and are used to inform state and local decision-making regarding the recruitment, education, and employment of nurses in Michigan. This section contains Michigan nurse licensure data since 2009 through maps, tables, and charts showing the number, geographic distribution, and age of licensed nurses.
