Good for everyday people ·
This bill would give Iowa nurses a tax break if they teach new nurses, helping more students learn and become nurses.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
This bill would help advanced registered nurse practitioners who spend their time teaching new students without pay. They would get a tax credit of up to $2,000. This could make more nurses want to teach, which means more new nurses could get trained. This is good because it helps make sure there are enough nurses to care for people. Some might say that giving tax breaks means less money for other state services. But supporters believe it is a good way to help train more healthcare workers. If you think it is important to help train new nurses, now is the time to let your lawmakers know.
