OBJECTIVE: 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.
CONCLUSIONS: 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.
CONCLUSIONS: 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.
目的:本文报道了护士团的应用,奖项,并在2017年至2022年期间分布在2个队列中,以评估2021年获得额外2亿美元拨款的影响。
结论:通过ARPA获得的额外资金与护士团队奖励数量增加近三倍相关。从2020年到2022年,项目参与者总共在1316个县(占美国所有县的42%)工作,比2017年到2019年的749个县增加了76%。
结论:增加奖学金和贷款偿还资金可以帮助改善护士劳动力在美国更多严重短缺地区的分布。
