HR 5052 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
To require the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Secretary of Labor to conduct a study and issue a report on grant programs to support the nursing workforce.
Summary
This bill requires the Secretaries of Health and Human Services and Labor to jointly review all federal grant programs that support the nursing workforce. Within one year of enactment, the secretaries must submit a report to Congress on their findings. The report must include recommendations for improving these grant programs to address three goals: increasing the number of nursing faculty, particularly in underserved areas; creating pathways for nurses with more than 10 years of clinical experience to become nursing instructors; and expanding the nursing pipeline by supporting licensed practical nurses who want to become registered nurses.
