ASPMN, to ensure that our nation has a sufficient and adequately prepared nursing workforce to provide quality care to all well into the 21st century, has sent a letter to Members of Congress urging them to appropriate at least $200 million in funding for Nursing Workforce Development Programs under Title VIII of the Public Health Service Act at the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) in FY 2009, and requests that they restore the Advanced Education Nursing program (Sec. 811) and fund it at a level on par with the proposed FY 2009 increase for the other Title VIII programs. See letter for further details.
ASPMN, signed on to a letter along with other stakeholders representing the full range of programs of the Departments of Education, Health and Human Services and Labor urging Congress to ensure that the final FY 2009 302b allocations for the House and Senate Labor, Health and Human Services, Education Appropriations Subcommittees reflects at least a $15 billion increase above the FY 2008 level for these critically important programs. This amount would:
(1) restore cuts of core program funding over the last four years,
(2) more appropriately account for four years of inflation and population growth to maintain service levels and purchasing power; and
(3) return these programs to the FY 2005 level. See letter for further details.
