Washington, D.C. \u2013 Today, Oregon\u2019s U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley, along with U.S. Senators Peter Welch (D-VT), Tina Smith (D-MN), Angus King (I-ME), Cory Booker (D-NJ), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Mazie Hirono (D-HI), and Alex Padilla (D-CA), introduced the bicameral Future Advancement of Academic Nursing (FAAN) Act. <\/em>This legislation would support a grant program to increase the number of faculty and students at nursing schools, which is critical to addressing nursing workforce shortages. This would help nursing schools to enhance preparedness, quickly respond to public health emergencies and pandemics, enroll students underrepresented in the nursing workforce, and modernize nursing education and infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“Nurses continue to find themselves on the front lines of our major public health battles, often times without the full support they need,” dijo el senador Merkley.<\/strong> “As the husband of a nurse, I know the sacrifices that are made to care for patients and to keep our medical centers up and running. We must do everything we can to support our nursing workforce, just as they support each and every one of us, and the FAAN Act<\/em> is just one way we can help achieve this commitment by invigorating nursing education.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNurses play a crucial role in ensuring the health and welfare of communities across the country. But the ongoing nursing workforce shortage means people may not be able to get the care they need\u2013and rural communities are often first to feel the impact. The FAAN Act <\/em>works to address the nursing workforce to increase the capacity of our health care system to respond to public health emergencies and provide crucial funds to improve educational programs, modernize infrastructure, and bolster our health care workforce,\u201d said Senator Welch<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEven before the pandemic, there were serious nursing shortages,\u201d said Senator Smith.<\/strong> \u201cThis bill will invest in nursing schools to strengthen educational programs and provide support for aspiring nurses to continue their education. Nurses are the backbone of our health care system. They\u2019re there for us when we need them, and now we need to show up for them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLast year, when I visited Beal University\u2019s campus<\/a> in Wilton, I was inspired by the talent of Maine\u2019s young, aspiring nurses who demonstrated a clear commitment to their calling in healthcare,\u201d dijo el Senador King.<\/strong> "El Ley de Avance Futuro de la Enfermer\u00eda Acad\u00e9mica (FAAN)<\/em> would award $1 billion in grants that could support nursing education for students at Beal and across Maine. By supporting programs nationwide to tackle the shortage of nurses, the FAAN Act<\/em> would also improve healthcare access and ensure Maine continues to have dedicated nurses in the years to come. Improving access to healthcare has been a longtime challenge for Maine\u2019s rural communities and aging population, but bolstering the workforce is an essential way to keep these young professionals entering the workforce. Thanks to my colleagues for working with me to support our rural communities in Maine and across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we navigate unprecedented work shortages in the health care industry, nurses remain on the front lines providing critical care and compassion to those in need,\u201d dijo el senador Booker.<\/strong> \u201cInvesting in nursing education and equipping nurses with the resources they need to continue their life-saving work is necessary to safeguarding our nation\u2019s public health.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Companion legislation was introduced in the House by Representative Lauren Underwood (D-IL-14).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cNurses provide critically important care that keeps our families and communities healthy. As one of the few nurses serving in Congress, I\u2019ve always been committed to advancing policies that strengthen our nursing workforce,\u201d said Rep. Underwood.<\/strong> \u201cBy making an unprecedented $1 billion investment in schools of nursing, the FAAN Act would grow the nursing workforce and expand and diversify the pipeline of nurses in underserved and rural areas. I look forward to working with Senator Merkley to pass the FAAN Act and provide the investments we need to create a stronger health care system that addresses nursing shortages and meets the needs of our families and communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

El FAAN Act<\/em> is supported by over 30 organizations including the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, American Federation of Teachers, American Nurses Association, and National Rural Health Association. A full list of supporting organizations can be found aqu\u00ed<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cAs we contend with a growing demand for nurses and an aging population, we recognize how important a highly educated nursing workforce is to supporting the health care needs of all communities, from our underserved and rural areas to our urban centers,\u201d said Dr. Cynthia McCurren, Chair of the AACN Board of Directors.<\/strong> \u201cThe FAAN Act is a crucial step forward as we work to recruit and retain nursing students and faculty, support our schools of nursing, facilitate academic-practice partnerships, and ensure the educational pathways remain strong as we work to serve America\u2019s patients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAACN applauds Senator Jeff Merkley and Congresswoman Lauren Underwood for putting forward historic investments in nursing education and recognizing the value our nursing schools, faculty, and students have on health care system,\u201d dijo la Dra. Deborah Trautman, presidenta y directora ejecutiva de AACN.<\/strong> \u201cWe look forward to working with Congress to pass the FAAN Act and ensure these vital resources are available as today\u2019s students become tomorrow\u2019s frontline providers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Our country\u2019s healthcare workforce is on the front line, taking care of our communities every day, but there are enormous challenges – extreme burnout, heavy patient loads, and a shortage of professionals in the pipeline who are willing to do this work, on top of the exodus of people leaving the job altogether. It\u2019s well past time to invest in building a more robust system to educate, train and prepare nurses. Senator Merkley\u2019s bill will help to produce the next generation of nurses, particularly for communities that have been underserved, by expanding nursing education programs and hiring and training diverse professionals to join the healthcare profession. On behalf of the 200,000 nurses and healthcare professionals of the AFT, I am pleased to endorse the Future Advancement of Academic Nursing Act,” said AFT President, Randi Weingarten.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“America’s health care system is reliant on a robust nursing workforce. That starts with our student nurses and the educational opportunities they can access. In addition to grants awarded to nursing schools, this bill will help ensure our nursing workforce is diverse and representative of communities across the country,” dijo la presidenta de ANA, Jennifer Mensik Kennedy, PhD, MBA, RN, NEA-BC, FAAN. <\/strong>“The American Nurses Association (ANA) thanks Representative Underwood and Senator Merkley for their work on this and for representing our nation’s nurses in Congress. ANA urges Congress to prioritize and invest in our nurses so they are well-equipped to apply what they learned in the classroom to the communities they’ll serve.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRural communities have been hit especially hard by the nursing shortage in recent years. A longstanding bottleneck to the creation of a robust nursing workforce has been the limited number of students and faculty that nursing schools could accommodate. The National Rural Health Association applauds Senator Merkley for introducing legislation that would expand the capacity of America\u2019s nursing schools to train nurses in rural areas,\u201d said Alan Morgan, Chief Executive Officer, National Rural Health Association. <\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
