All 63 members of the Nursing Community Coalition sent a letter to the House and Senate Appropriations Committee detailing the NCC's updated Fiscal Year (FY 2020) funding requests.
The Nursing Community Coalition is proud to see one of our top legislative priorities, Title VIII Nursing Workforce Reauthorization Act (S. 1399), advance out of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee by unanimous voice vote, and commends the Committee for their bipartisan commitment to nursing education and the nursing workforce. S. 1399 would reauthorize the Nursing Workforce Development Programs (authorized under Title VIII of the Public Health Service Act [42 U.S.C. 296 et. seq]).
The Nursing Community Coalition (NCC) applauds the U.S. House of Representatives for passing the Title VIII Nursing Workforce Development Act of 2019 (H.R. 728). This bipartisan legislation would help to ensure a robust and diverse nursing pipeline, especially in rural and underserved areas, by reauthorizing the Nursing Workforce Development Programs (authorized under Title VIII of the Public Health Service Act [42 U.S.C. 296 et. seq]).
