Nursing schools would get more money to train more nurses and improve education.
This bill would set aside more money for programs that help educate advanced nurses and strengthen nursing schools. It would increase funding for these programs for five years, from 2026 to 2030. This means more students could become nurses, and schools could offer better training, including for those serving survivors of sexual assault.
Today, federal nursing workforce development programs are authorized with specific funding levels through the government's budget year 2025, and grant eligibility is more narrowly defined. If this bill becomes law, it would reauthorize these programs with increased funding for the government's budget years 2026 through 2030, setting aside $184,337,000 (up from $137,837,000) and $121,135,000 (up from $117,135,000) annually. It would also expand the types of activities and populations eligible for these grants, allowing for more modern training methods and a focus on specific community needs.
