Plain-English Summary

This bill would establish a national center to study and address the nursing shortage in the United States by collecting data on nurse employment, training needs, and workforce trends. The center would help hospitals, schools, and policymakers understand where nurses are needed most and how to better prepare people for nursing careers. This affects nurses, hospitals, nursing schools, and patients who depend on adequate staffing in healthcare facilities.
