NCC letter praises nursing workforce bill

AONL was one of 48 members of the Nursing Community Coalition to sign a letter thanking Congressional members for introducing the National Nursing Workforce Center Act of 2022 (H.R. 8817/S. 4844). Reps. Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-Del.) and Young Kim (R-Calif.) and Senate Nursing Caucus Co-Chair Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) and Sen. Thomas Tillis (R-N.C.) introduced the bipartisan legislation. The measure would support state nursing workforce centers and authorize the Health Resources and Services Administration to establish a center focused on nursing. (NCC letter, 12/21/22)
