Hawaii HB617 appropriates funds to establish a bachelor of science in nursing program at the University of Hawaii Maui College to address nursing.
Hawaii HB617 addresses the state's nursing shortage by appropriating funds to establish a bachelor of science in nursing program at the University of Hawaii Maui College. The bill allocates money for supplies, equipment, simulation and laboratory upgrades, additional personnel, and instructional costs. This initiative aims to increase the supply of nurse graduates and reduce the nursing workforce shortage, which currently exceeds demand by approximately one thousand positions. The program will offer a third year of nursing courses following its establishment.
