HR 5052 United States House · 119th Congress

Train More Nurses Act

This bill requires the Health and Human Services and Labor Secretaries to review all federal grant programs supporting the nursing workforce and submit a report to Congress within one year. The report must include recommendations to improve specific goals: increasing nursing faculty (especially in underserved areas), creating pathways for experienced nurses to become faculty, and expanding opportunities for licensed practical nurses to become registered nurses. It does not create new funding or programs but mandates a comprehensive review of existing initiatives. The bill directly affects federal agencies managing nursing workforce grants and aims to identify ways to strengthen nursing education pipelines.
