Nursing's $1.2 Billion Problem

Nurses use pharmacology, operate complex medical technology, and apply statistical modeling daily - yet they're locked out of $1.2 billion in federal STEM funding. Rebecca Love is fighting to change that. WHAT'S AT STAKE: A national coalition of 100+ nursing organizations just petitioned the Department of Homeland Security to recognize nursing as a STEM profession. This change could unlock: • Millions in NSF research grants currently off-limits to nurses • Extended work visas for international nursing graduates (ending brain drain) • Federal STEM education funding and pipeline programs • Access to the White House's $1.2B STEM investment • Legitimacy for nurses in AI development and health tech innovation WHY THIS MATTERS BEYOND NURSING: If you're building health tech, investing in healthcare, or care about AI in medicine, this affects you. Nurses are the frontline innovators using your technology, but they're systematically excluded from the funding and recognition that drives STEM careers forward. THE GENDER BIAS NOBODY'S TALKING ABOUT: Rebecca doesn't sugarcoat it: nursing is 90% female, and she believes that's exactly why it's been overlooked. While male-dominated fields get priority STEM status, nurses who use pharmacology, operate advanced medical devices, and conduct statistical research are told they're not "technical enough."
