2008 Survey of CUNY Nursing Graduates
In 2008, the Office of the University Dean for Health and Human Services conducted a survey of CUNY nursing graduates to examine graduates’ educational experiences, their experiences as new registered nurses (RNs), and their experiences in the labor market. Our sample was drawn from the 8,595 students who graduated from CUNY with an Associate in Applied Science (AAS) in nursing, a generic Bachelor of Science (BS) in nursing, or an RN to Bachelor of Science (BS) completion degree in nursing between 1997 and 2007. A total of 1,896 nursing graduates completed the survey, comprising 22 percent of the entire population of graduates from CUNY’s nursing programs during the 10-year period.

Final Report from the Long Term Care Workshop: "Creating Solutions for New York State”
The Office of the University Dean for Health and Human Services at The City University of New York (CUNY) engaged the services of the Vanderbilt
Center for Better Health to assist in the research, facilitation, and reporting for
the Long Term Care Workshop: “Creating Solutions for New York State.” The
process involved approximately 100 providers, academics, policy experts,
government officials, and advocates who gathered during a three-day workshop
held at Baruch College in New York City in August 2008 to devise workable solutions to the
challenges facing New York State’s long term care system.
The workshop was organized under the leadership of Monsignor Charles Fahey,
who served as its chair.
The policy areas discussed during the workshop were framed by the current fiscal
realities and aging demographics in New York State. Policy discussions were
directed at devising action and reform for the outlying issues that burden not only
consumers and providers, but also the state, federal, and local governments.
