Requires nursing education on inflammatory breast cancer.

This bill requires nursing schools in New Jersey to include education on inflammatory breast cancer in their professional nursing curricula. The law mandates that this training be developed with input from medical experts specializing in the study, diagnosis, and treatment of this specific type of cancer. Inflammatory breast cancer is a rare form that blocks lymph vessels in the skin and often lacks the typical breast lump seen in other breast cancers, making it harder to detect. By ensuring nursing students learn to recognize its unique symptoms, the bill aims to improve early detection and treatment outcomes for patients. The changes will take effect at the start of the 12th month following enactment, allowing time for nursing programs to update their curricula accordingly.
