NCC urges support for nursing workforce, research initiatives

The Nursing Community Coalition urged the administration to support nursing workforce and research initiatives after President Trump honored National Nurses Day. In a statement, the NCC encourages “the President to reinforce his commitment to nursing by continuing investment” in essential federal programs. Specifically, the NCC requests the administration and Congress to fully fund all Title VIII Nursing Workforce Development Programs, as well as to retain and fund the National Institute of Nursing Research as an independent Institute within the National Institutes of Health. AONL is one of 64 members that comprise the NCC. (NCC Statement, 5/12/25)
