AI Summary
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, offering them financial, material, and technical assistance. The NJCCN will set requirements for these 12-month, full-time residency programs, which must include preceptor support and data collection on how many nurses remain employed at the homes after completing their residency. Veterans' memorial homes must apply to participate, and approvals will be on a first-come, first-served basis. The bill appropriates $500,000 to the NJCCN to fund this initiative, and the NJCCN's reporting to the Governor and Legislature will now include data on the participation of veterans' memorial homes in this new program and the funds spent on support for them.
