Description:
HR 1436, Nurse Reinvestment Act of 2001 has been introduced by Rep Lois Capps, and is co-sponsored by 84 other representatives. Among other things, the bill proposes to address the nursing shortage by increasing the federal Medicaid match to help pay for nurse training programs, establishing a "National Nurse Service Corps," that would pay for the nursing education of candidates who commit to working in a nursing facility or other health care facility with staff shortages, and establishing federal grants to allow nursing facility employees to pursue gerontology degrees or certificates.
