Summary
H.R.3333, the MORE Nurses Act, directs the National Advisory Council on Nurse Education and Practice to examine and report on the growing nursing shortage in the United States. The bill requires the council to assess workforce capacity, educational capacity, causes of the shortage, and relevant federal policies. The council must then submit a report to the President, Congress, and the Secretary of Health and Human Services, making the report publicly available online.
