The NEXUS Nursing Frame - Paperback

by Sherri Johnson (Author)

The challenges facing the nursing workforce begin long before a student applies to nursing school. They reflect deeper breakdowns in the systems, policies, and infrastructure that shape nursing education and workforce development.

In The NEXUS Nursing Framework(TM), Dr. Sherri Johnson introduces a powerful lens for understanding the nursing workforce as infrastructure. Blending lived experience with policy analysis, the book traces the student journey from early education through nursing practice, revealing where and why talented individuals fall through the cracks.

The NEXUS Nursing Framework connects education, workforce development, healthcare systems, and equity into a single, integrated model. It offers leaders across sectors a shared language and practical tools for redesigning pathways that work for students, institutions, and communities alike.

Grounded in nursing values and informed by systems thinking, this book challenges readers to move beyond short-term fixes toward lasting workforce solutions.
