Train More Nurses Act
This bill requires the Health and Human Services and Labor Secretaries to review all federal grant programs supporting nurses and submit a report to Congress within one year. The report must include recommendations to improve three specific goals: increasing nursing faculty (especially in areas with nurse shortages), creating career advancement routes for experienced nurses to become faculty, and expanding pathways for licensed practical nurses (LPNs) to become registered nurses (RNs). It directly affects nursing education programs and the nursing workforce by focusing on strengthening the pipeline to address shortages. The bill itself does not fund new programs but sets up a review process to inform future policy changes.
