Comments on: Congressman Braley Introduces Frontline Providers Loan Repayment Act http://blog.iowahospital.org/2009/06/19/congressman-braley-introduces-frontline-providers-loan-repayment-act/ A place for relevant news and insights about Iowa hospitals Thu, 09 Feb 2012 18:38:42 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: admin http://blog.iowahospital.org/2009/06/19/congressman-braley-introduces-frontline-providers-loan-repayment-act/#comment-28418 admin Mon, 18 Jul 2011 15:17:34 +0000 http://blog.iowahospital.org/?p=544#comment-28418 Thank for your question. H.R.2891 has not passed the U.S. Congress. Concerning Nebraska, I'm not familiar with their policies on a state-level, but should this bill have passed Congress it would have applied on a nationwide-basis. Unfortunately, considering the current environment in Washington D.C. and the fact that the bill was introduced in 2009, it's not likely that it will be moving forward at this time. As part of the health care reform law, however, there were several provisions that sought to encourage individuals to choose health care as a career, and enhance the nation's health care workforce including a variety of training grants and program proposals. For a full list of workforce provisions see this document: <a href="http://www.ncsl.org/documents/health/HlthWrkfrceProvHR3590.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.ncsl.org/documents/health/HlthWrkfrceProvHR3590.pdf</a> Thank for your question.

Are there other ways hospitals could help alleviate stress for students? What are some of the pain points you deal with than an employer could help potential employees with?
