The Title VIII Nursing Workforce Reauthorization Act of 2025 reauthorizes federal funding for nursing education and workforce development programs through 2030. The bill expands grants for advanced nursing education to include nurse practitioners, nurse-midwives, nurse anesthetists, and clinical nurse specialists, while also supporting the development of nursing school capacity through updated teaching technologies like simulation equipment, telehealth platforms, and virtual laboratories. It increases federal funding from approximately $255 million annually (2021-2025) to roughly $305 million annually (2026-2030), and adds clinical education partnerships with healthcare facilities and community health centers to help address nursing shortages. The legislation affects nursing schools, students pursuing advanced nursing degrees, and healthcare facilities that train nurses, while providing the financial resources needed to expand the nursing workforce across the country.
