The Trump Administration is proud to announce a 250 MILLION DOLLAR PLUS initiative to RECRUIT and RETAIN Nurses for Nursing Homes! This Federal and State Initiative will support thousands and thousands of Nurses and Nursing Students Nationwide, including those serving rural communities. Through the brand new Nurses for Nursing Homes Initiative at CMS, Nurses can get up to $50,000 in Grants for working in rural communities or understaffed facilities. This Fund was nearly a THIRD of this amount until I stepped in, and had our Great Governors join the fight. Now many more of our Incredible Nurses can be rewarded for helping our Fantastic Seniors. This is a BIG Win for America! No one else in the HISTORY of our Country has delivered more for our Nurses and our Seniors than my Administration. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP nursesfornursinghomes.cms.gov
