Nursing Workforce Surge: 12 per 1000

⚠ This is a flightplan, not a commitment. Flightplans are hypothetical policy proposals modelled in the Ducklings causal simulation. They become projects only when voted into adoption through Consensus. Metrics shown reflect simulation model outputs, not real-world outcomes.

Impact figures are simulation model outputs from the Ducklings causal engine (BFS cascade, 3-hop depth, strength-weighted edges). They represent projected effects, not real-world outcomes.

Continuum Entry

Overview

Aggressive nurse recruitment: fast-track immigration, expanded nursing school seats, retention bonuses. Chain: nurse_supply_per_1000 -> healthcare_workforce_capacity (+0.60, d2). A 20% increase in nursing supply directly boosts system capacity with a 2-epoch delay for training and onboarding.

Ducklings Simulation

This proposal is active in the Ducklings causal simulation (Epoch 39). The simulation models downstream effects using a BFS cascade engine with strength-weighted, time-delayed edges capped at 3-hop depth and ±25% per-hop limits. Cascade outputs are bounded by variable saturation thresholds.
