Summary
The Nurse Faculty Shortage Reduction Act establishes a demonstration program that allows the Health Secretary to award grants to accredited nursing schools to top‑up the salaries of new faculty members. By covering the pay gap between clinical nursing wages and current faculty pay, the program seeks to attract and retain qualified teachers, especially in high‑need regions and among underrepresented groups.
