Establishes a national graduate nurse education program under Medicare to support advanced practice registered nurses.
The bill amends title XVIII of the Social Security Act to create a national graduate nurse education program. This program will provide payments to eligible hospitals for the reasonable costs of providing qualified clinical education to advanced practice registered nurses. Eligible hospitals must have agreements with accredited schools of nursing and non-hospital community-based care settings. The program aims to ensure that at least half of the clinical education is provided in non-hospital settings.
