We applaud the more than 140 bipartisan, bicameral members of Congress who signed onto a letter supporting nursing as a professional degree. Protecting opportunities for post-baccalaureate nursing education will benefit patients in all communities. bit.ly/4iY9jxn


Thank you to @RepUnderwood for underscoring the importance of protecting federal student loan access for our current and future nurses.
