This grant, offered by the Nurse Education, Practice, Quality, and Retention (NEPQR) department, is specifically designed to address the critical shortage of nurses across the nation. Its primary purpose is to significantly increase the nursing workforce, particularly in rural (non-metro) and other underserved geographical areas. The program focuses on bolstering nursing staff within crucial healthcare environments, including both acute and long-term care settings. By expanding the availability of skilled nurses in these critical locations, the NEPQR Workforce Expansion Program aims to improve access to quality healthcare services for populations most affected by nurse scarcity. This initiative represents a strategic effort to strengthen the healthcare infrastructure and ensure robust nursing support where it is most urgently needed.
