Trends in Nursing Education: 2026 Findings

In collaboration with the University of Nebraska Medical Center, CORE by PeopleGrove surveyed nursing program administrators across the country on clinical placements, preceptors, compliance, and competency tracking. Explore what’s working, where programs are under the most pressure, and how connected infrastructure is shaping the future of nursing education.

  • The infrastructure gap affecting 97% of nursing programs and the consolidation movement already underway
  • What preceptors and clinical partners are saying about working with programs (it's not about student preparedness)
  • Where disconnected systems are creating the most operational friction and compliance risk
  • Longitudinal benchmarks across three surveys to see how the field has shifted since 2022
  • How to get more out of the competency data your program is already collecting
