Where people train for it in Maryland
3,450 people finished registered nursing programs at 28 schools in Maryland in 2023-24, the programs this specialty starts from. The schools with the most graduates:
| School | Town | Graduates |
|---|---|---|
| University of Maryland, Baltimore | Baltimore | 591 |
| Johns Hopkins University | Baltimore | 301 |
| Towson University | Towson | 250 |
| Stevenson University | Owings Mills | 204 |
| Community College of Baltimore County | Baltimore | 195 |
| Allegany College of Maryland | Cumberland | 167 |
| Anne Arundel Community College | Arnold | 162 |
| Howard Community College | Columbia | 160 |
Graduates of every award level, from short certificates to degrees, at the schools that report to the federal survey (those in the federal student aid system): short courses run by employers, the Red Cross or adult education are not counted. Online schools count where they are based, so a school teaching online across the country appears in its home state. Bachelor's degrees in nursing include RN-to-BSN completers who were already licensed nurses; the large online universities graduate mostly these. From the U.S. Department of Education's completions survey, 2023-24: nces.ed.gov/ipeds (source: the U.S. Department of Education (IPEDS))

What Maryland law requires
Nurse staffing committee or plan (in effect from 2026)
Maryland's Safe Staffing Act of 2026 requires each licensed hospital to establish a clinical staffing committee and implement a clinical staffing plan.
“EACH HOSPITAL LICENSED UNDER THIS TITLE SHALL ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN A CLINICAL STAFFING COMMITTEE” Md. Code, Health-General §§ 19-393 to 19-397 (Chapter 235 of 2026, SB 411) (source: Md. Code, Health-General §§ 19-393 to 19-397 (Chapter 235 of 2026, SB 411))
Limits on mandatory overtime
Employers may not require nurses to work beyond scheduled hours, except in a narrow unforeseeable emergency, for on-call rotation or in community-based care (covers licensed practical nurses and registered nurses).
“an employer may not require a nurse to work more than the regularly scheduled hours according to the predetermined work schedule” Md. Code, Lab. & Empl. § 3-421 (source: Md. Code, Lab. & Empl. § 3-421)
From Maryland's own code or health department, read 9 Nov 2026. Each hospital's own postings state the ratio of its unit, and every state's law is on the ratio hub.
