Nurse Corps’ impact on increasing registered nurse staffing in critical shortage areas and facilities, 2017 to 2022
Background
The registered nurse (RN) workforce experienced critical pre-pandemic and pandemic shortages of labor in some areas in the United States. People living in these health professional shortage areas (HPSAs) may have less access to health services. The Bureau of Health Workforce within the Health Resources and Services Administration administers Nurse Corps scholarship and loan repayment programs to increase healthcare access by increasing the supply and distribution of RNs, nurse practitioners, and nurse faculty to HPSAs. The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) made available considerable new resources for the program.
Purpose
This paper reports on Nurse Corps applications, awards, and distribution in 2 cohorts in the period 2017 to 2022 to assess the impact of receiving an additional $200 million appropriated in 2021.
Discussion
Additional funds through ARPA were associated with nearly threefold increases in the number of Nurse Corps awards. Program participants worked in a total of 1,316 counties (42% of all U.S. counties) in 2020 to 2022, a 76% increase from 749 counties in 2017 to 2019.
Conclusion
Increased funding for scholarship and loan repayment can help to improve the distribution of nurse labor to a greater number of critical shortage areas in the United States.
