For workforce boards, employers & funders

The upstream pipeline for your RN workforce.

The shortage starts long before licensure — with people who want healthcare careers but get misrouted or worn down on the way in. Pathway is the routing layer that moves them from aspiration to a credential that ladders to a job, and gives you visibility into the pipeline climbing toward RN.

Two shortages

Capacity isn't the only shortage.

Most shortage funding chases seats, faculty, and retention. A parallel shortage runs upstream — and almost nobody owns it.

Not us

The capacity shortage

Too few seats, faculty, and clinical placements. Real — and not what Pathway touches.

Our lane

The routing shortage

People who want in, lost upstream to confusion, wrong first credentials, application friction, and single rejections. Underfunded — and exactly our lane.

What Pathway does for systems

More of the people who want in actually get through.

Route funded learners into credentials that ladder

Built for completion and placement, not enrollment vanity — a first credential that keeps the RN path open, not a dead-end certificate.

See the pipeline climbing toward RN

Visibility into CNAs and MAs progressing to LPN and RN across schools and years, on one persistent account.

Reduce avoidable loss between rungs

One reusable packet and a clear next step cut the friction that makes people stall or quit between credentials.

Regional demand visibility

See who's exploring healthcare careers in your region and who's ready within 90 days — route them before they leak.

How we measure it

Contribution, measured.

We lead with the leakage we can measure ourselves, and graduate to yield and placement outcomes with partner data — never enrollment vanity.

  • First-credential routing — share who pick a credential that ladders to their stated goal
  • Application breadth — how many programs a candidate reaches with one packet
  • Readiness at apply — prerequisites and documents identified before applying
  • Rung-to-rung progression — CNA → LPN → RN advancement over time

Honest scope

We don't add seats or faculty, and we don't graduate or license anyone. We make sure more of the people who want in get through — and we measure it.
Pathway is one part of the solution to the nursing shortage — the routing layer. It works alongside capacity and retention efforts, not in place of them.
