HPNA Signs on to NCC Letter Supporting Nurses PRECEPT Act

The Hospice and Palliative Nurses Association (HPNA) joined more than 50 nursing organizations in signing on to a February 28 letter from the Nursing Community Coalition to Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) and Representative Jen Kiggans (R-VA), thanking them for introducing the Providing Real-World Education and Clinical Experience by Precepting Tomorrow’s (PRECEPT) Nurses Act (H.R.392/S.131).

The PRECEPT Nurses Act is an innovative approach to addressing nursing education barriers by providing a $2000 tax credit to nurses who serve at least 200 hours as a clinical preceptor, specific in health professional shortage areas.
