National Rural Health Association Joins Nursing Groups in Lawsuit Over Department of Education's Professional Degree Definition
Crackles when you bite it. Shows the baker did the work.
Summary
The National Rural Health Association (NRHA) has joined a lawsuit led by major nursing organizations against the U.S. Department of Education. The lawsuit challenges the Department's definition of "professional degree" programs, which excludes advanced nursing degrees. The coalition argues this exclusion negatively impacts nurse education, rural healthcare access, and the recognition of advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs).
