Uniting New Jersey Nursing Education Leaders to Strengthen the Future Workforce

The Tri-Council for Nursing in New Jersey is a collaborative alliance that brings together nursing leaders from academia, at 3+ levels: LPN, associate, diploma, and baccalaureate and higher programs.  The Tri-Council was formed out of the New Jersey Action Coalition and typically meets biannually to address key challenges in nursing academia and explore actionable solutions. It focuses on strengthening the nursing workforce by fostering collaboration between LPN, associate, diploma, and baccalaureate programs and improving educational pathways.
