Bill information
Summary
To amend the Public Health Service Act to provide eligibility for nurses working in an elementary or secondary school within a health professional shortage area to participate in the National Health Service Corps Loan Repayment Program, and for other purposes.
Plain-language summary
This bill would change federal loan repayment rules to let school nurses in rural or underserved areas join a program that pays back their student loans. The National Health Service Corps Loan Repayment Program currently helps health workers in areas with few doctors and nurses, but does not include school nurses. This bill expands the program to cover nurses working in elementary or secondary schools located in those shortage areas. The bill was recently introduced in Congress.
