AI Summary
This bill, known as the "Train More Nurses Act," requires the Secretaries of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Labor to conduct a comprehensive review of existing grant programs that support the nursing workforce. Within one year of the bill's enactment, these officials must submit a report to Congress that includes recommendations for improving grant programs in three key areas: (1) increasing nurse faculty, with a specific focus on underserved areas; (2) creating career pathways for experienced nurses (those with over 10 years of clinical experience) to transition into teaching roles at nursing schools; and (3) expanding opportunities for licensed practical nurses (LPNs) to advance their careers and become registered nurses (RNs). The goal of these recommendations is to address potential gaps in nursing education, support professional development within the nursing field, and ultimately strengthen the nursing workforce by creating more accessible routes for career advancement and teaching opportunities.
