With the Department of Education’s recent omission of nursing from its recognized degree programs prompting concern across healthcare and higher-education communities, expert insight may be helpful in explaining what this means for students, institutions, and the workforce.
Kelly-Weeder, Dean of The George Washington University School of Nursing, is available to provide clear, authoritative commentary on:
- Why the omission is significant for students, educators, and the healthcare workforce
- The broader implications for a nursing workforce already facing unprecedented shortages
- What corrections or policy actions would help realign federal recognition with the realities of the healthcare system
With extensive experience in nursing education, academic leadership, and workforce policy, Dean Kelly-Weeder can contextualize what this oversight means at both the national and institutional levels—and why correcting it is critical.
