TRENTON – A bill sponsored by Senators Joseph F. Vitale and Loretta Weinberg which would reorganize the New Jersey Collaborating Center for Nursing and provide a permanent funding source was unanimously approved by the Senate Health, Human Services and Senior Citizens Committee today.
“In order to provide high-quality health care in the Garden State, we need to have a well-trained, adaptable nursing workforce,” said Senator Vitale, D-Middlesex, the Chair of the Health panel. “To that end, the Collaborating Center for Nursing has been an invaluable partner in keeping the nursing industry in New Jersey on top of the latest medical advances and treatment options available. We want to ensure that they will be able to continue their mission well into the future.”
