The Tennessee Center for Nursing, Inc. (TCN), established in 1996, is a statewide non-profit 501[c]3 organization composed of nursing educators, providers, insurers, business representatives, policy makers, consumers, and representatives of professional nursing organizations. The TCN established a statewide consortium to guide the ongoing development of an appropriate nursing work force, to conduct nursing work force analyses, to propose recommendations for nursing education and practice reform, to disseminate the findings and recommendations, and to develop an ongoing system to address the nursing work force as related to the future health care needs of the residents of Tennessee. TCN has a documented history of data collection, analysis, and dissemination, and has made recommendations to and worked collaboratively with other state organizations to refine data collection instruments for licensed nurses and licensed healthcare facilities.
