Bill overview
This bill, the NURSE Visa Act of 2026, aims to address a shortage of nurses in the United States by creating a new visa category. It increases the number of visas available to nurses working in designated shortage areas to 20,000 per year, per state. The bill also requires facilities employing these nurses to have established provider-to-patient staffing ratios and mandates the creation of regulations to implement these changes. This legislation seeks to improve access to nursing care by streamlining the visa process for qualified nurses.
