Bill overview
The Nurse Faculty Shortage Reduction Act of 2026 aims to address the shortage of nursing faculty by establishing a demonstration program. This program will provide grants to accredited nursing schools to supplement the salaries of new or existing nursing faculty members, encouraging recruitment and retention. The grants will be awarded based on factors like need, location in underserved areas, and efforts to diversify the faculty. The program will be evaluated after three years to determine its effectiveness and inform future decisions.
