One School, One Nurse Act of 2023
The One School, One Nurse Act of 2023 creates a federal grant program to help schools hire and retain full-time registered nurses, targeting elementary and secondary schools with persistent shortages - especially in high-need districts. Grants, awarded competitively for up to five years, fund recruitment, converting part-time nurse roles to full-time, salary increases, and maintaining recommended nurse-to-student ratios. Schools applying must demonstrate a need for nurses, describe student health needs, and include plans for hiring from underrepresented groups in nursing. The program requires annual reports tracking progress toward one full-time nurse per school and nurse demographics.
