The funding comes from the agency’s Nursing Expansion Grant Program. The investment is designed to expand the pipeline of nurses “while advancing equity and creating pathways for workers to fill these jobs and improve the nation’s healthcare system.” 

“Many healthcare workers, nurses among them, have worked around the clock throughout the pandemic to care for those in need and save countless lives, often while risking their own health and well-being” said Marty Walsh, secretary of labor. “Today, they face diminished ranks of colleagues to help shoulder these burdens as patients continue to depend on them. The funding opportunity announced today will support training and other programs to help advance workforce equity while bringing more nurses into the industry.”
