Sets aside $1 billion to help nursing schools train more nurses and prepare for health emergencies.
This bill would set aside $1 billion to help nursing schools across the country. It aims to train more nurses and faculty, especially in areas that need healthcare workers most, and improve how schools prepare for public health emergencies. This would mean more healthcare professionals available to serve communities.
Today, there isn't a specific federal grant program focused on modernizing nursing education and boosting student and faculty numbers to address workforce shortages and emergency preparedness. This bill would create a $1,000,000,000 grant program, allowing the Health Resources and Services Administration to give money to nursing schools to achieve these goals, with a focus on underserved communities.
