YourVoice.Now Summary
No new training, no new money — just a study of nurse grants and a report to Congress within a year.
The details
No new nurse training would start under this bill. It orders a study instead. Health and Human Services and the Labor Department would jointly review every grant program they run that supports nurses. Within one year, the two agencies would send Congress a report on what they found. The report would suggest ways to put more nursing teachers in underserved areas. It would also cover two career paths. One is for nurses with more than 10 years of hands-on experience to become nursing school teachers. The other is for licensed practical nurses to become registered nurses. Nothing in the bill creates a grant, spends money, or changes who qualifies. Any real change would take a later act of Congress.
