Call to Action: Protect Nursing Education Funding

The U.S. Department of Education is proposing a new definition of “professional” degree programs, but nursing is not yet explicitly included. This omission could have significant consequences for how nursing programs are classified, supported, and funded at the federal level.

Nurses must make our voices heard.

We are urging the Department of Education to explicitly include nursing in the definition of “professional” degree programs to ensure our profession receives the recognition and support it deserves.

Take Action Today:

Sign the petition and tell the Department of Education that nursing must be included. Your signature helps protect graduate nursing education, strengthen the profession, and ensure the future nursing workforce is supported.
