The Train More Nurses Act requires the Department of Health and Human Services and Department of Labor to jointly review all federal grant programs that support nursing education and training, then report their findings to Congress within one year. The bill aims to address the nursing shortage by identifying ways to expand nurse faculty positions—especially in underserved areas—create opportunities for experienced nurses to become instructors, and develop clearer pathways for licensed practical nurses to advance to registered nurse status. While the bill doesn't allocate new funding, it directs the two departments to recommend improvements to existing grant programs to better support these workforce development goals. The legislation affects nursing schools, students pursuing nursing careers, and healthcare systems struggling with nurse shortages, as improved pipelines could help address staffing challenges across the country.
