Study Mandated to Boost Nursing Workforce and Faculty Training Programs.

This Act requires the Departments of Health and Labor to review all federal grant programs supporting the nursing workforce.

This effort aims to alleviate nursing shortages and potentially improve healthcare access for citizens.
Key points
Federal agencies must study existing grant programs to find ways to train more nurses and faculty, particularly in underserved areas.
Focus on creating pathways for experienced clinical nurses (10+ years) to transition into teaching roles at nursing schools.
Recommendations will aim to encourage Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) to advance their careers to become Registered Nurses (RNs).
