Help support nurses by taking action on the Nurse Faculty Shortage Reduction Act today!

With 89% of nurses reporting staffing shortages at their facilities, policymakers and the healthcare community must join forces to rebuild our nation's nursing workforce—an effort that has been complicated by a faculty shortage of over 2,100 full-time vacancies.

 

This is why ANA led efforts in Congress to introduce the Nurse Faculty Shortage Reduction Act. This bill would narrow the pay disparity between nurse faculty and nurses working in acute care settings that discourages the pursuit of faculty positions. While the bill’s introduction is a huge step, we need more lawmakers to cosponsor the bill to keep the momentum going. 

 

This is where we could use your voice. To gain more support, we need you to urge your federal legislators to cosponsor this critical legislation.

Can we count on you to support fellow nurses by sending a letter and sharing your story?

Thank you for your advocacy!
