Bill > S2675

This bill establishes a program within the New Jersey Collaborating Center for Nursing (NJCCN) to support residency programs at New Jersey's veterans' memorial homes for licensed practical nurses and registered professional nurses, providing them with financial, material, and technical assistance. The NJCCN will set requirements for these 12-month, full-time residency programs, including the use of preceptors and the collection of data on how many nurses remain employed at the homes after completing their residency. Veterans' memorial homes must apply to participate, detailing their proposed residency openings and status, with applications processed on a first-come, first-served basis. The bill appropriates $500,000 to the NJCCN to fund this initiative, and the NJCCN's regular reports to the Governor and Legislature will now include data on the participation of veterans' memorial homes in this program and the funds spent on support for them.
