As the U.S. healthcare system continues to grapple with a historic nursing shortage, the proposed FY 2026 federal budget threatens to accelerate the crisis through sweeping cuts to nursing education, research, and Medicaid support—posing profound implications for workforce sustainability, patient access, and innovation. Burnout, workplace violence, and long-standing systemic challenges have already driven thousands of nurses out of the profession.
