Nursing Workforce Act: Centers to Boost Recruitment and Stabilize Healthcare.

This law establishes a two-year pilot program providing federal grants to states to create or enhance nursing workforce centers. The goal is to stabilize the existing nursing staff, increase the number of nurses, and improve healthcare quality through better planning and recruitment efforts. Citizens should see benefits through reduced staffing shortages and improved access to qualified medical care.
Key points
Establishes a 2-year federal grant program for states to fund centers analyzing nursing shortages, faculty capacity, and retention challenges.
Funds will support programs for recruiting and retaining nurses, developing leadership, and preparing the workforce for public health crises and pandemics.
Requires states receiving grants to provide a non-federal match (at least $1 for every $4 federal dollars) to ensure local investment in workforce solutions.
