This legislation mandates that the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Secretary of Labor jointly undertake a comprehensive review of all grant programs within their respective departments that are designed to support the nursing workforce. Following this review, they are required to submit a detailed report to Congress within one year of the bill's enactment. The report must include specific recommendations for changes to these grant programs, aimed at improving their effectiveness. Key objectives for these recommendations include increasing nurse faculty , especially in underserved areas, and establishing clear pathways for experienced nurses with over a decade of clinical practice to transition into faculty positions at nursing schools. Additionally, the bill seeks to strengthen the overall nursing pipeline by encouraging and facilitating pathways for licensed practical nurses to become registered nurses.
