Train More Nurses Act

The Train More Nurses Act (H.R. 6122) is a bipartisan bill designed to address the national nursing shortage by expanding the workforce and increasing the number of qualified educators. The legislation directs the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Labor to review existing federal grant programs and recommend ways to better support nursing faculty recruitment, particularly in underserved and rural areas.

For citizens, the bill aims to improve access to healthcare by ensuring hospitals and clinics have enough staff to meet patient needs. It specifically focuses on creating easier pathways for Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) to become Registered Nurses (RNs) and encouraging experienced clinical nurses to transition into teaching roles to train the next generation of healthcare professionals.
