What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Train More Nurses Act," directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Secretary of Labor to work together on a specific study. The officials are required to review all grant programs managed by their respective departments that are intended to support the nursing workforce. Following this review, they must submit a report to Congress within one year of the act's enactment. This report must include recommendations for changes to the grant programs to help meet specific goals. These goals include increasing nurse faculty, helping experienced nurses become faculty, and growing the nursing pipeline through new pathways.
