Bill overview
This bill aims to increase the number of nurses in the United States by supporting the creation and expansion of accelerated postgraduate nursing programs. It does this by modifying existing grant programs for healthcare education, specifically prioritizing funding for programs designed for individuals with some prior academic credit in a nursing-related field. The bill also requires the Department of Health and Human Services to report on the effectiveness of these programs and the institutions participating in them.
