Bill overview
This bill creates a process for New Jersey county colleges to offer bachelor’s degree nursing programs. It allows county colleges to submit proposals to the New Jersey Presidents’ Council, outlining details like program needs, resources, and costs. The Council reviews these proposals, and the Secretary of Higher Education makes the final decision on approval, contingent upon accreditation by the New Jersey Board of Nursing. This aims to increase the number of nurses in the state and expand access to healthcare.
