Boosting Nursing Faculty: Expanding Access to Nursing Schools.

This act aims to increase the number of nursing faculty and clinical preceptors, allowing nursing schools to accept more students. This will lead to more nurses entering the workforce, potentially improving access to healthcare for citizens. Grant funds will help schools hire new educators and enhance their compensation.
Key points
More Nurses: Nursing schools will receive grants to hire and retain faculty, enabling them to enroll more students and train more nurses.
Improved Healthcare Access: A larger pool of qualified nurses in the future could reduce wait times and enhance the quality of medical services.
Support for Diversity: Priority for grants will be given to schools recruiting faculty from underrepresented backgrounds, fostering a more diverse healthcare workforce.
