The $275 million federal-state initiative aims to recruit and retain over 4,000 nurses in senior care facilities, focusing on high-need rural areas. Funded entirely by civil penalties collected from nursing homes, the program offers participants up to $50,000 in student loan repayment and stipends for a three-year service commitment.
Administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Mehmet Öz speaks at Washington D.C. on 10/28/2026.

Dr. Oz Well, you wanted us to go out there and get scholarships because we don’t have enough nurses in rural parts of the country, especially in nursing homes. So, this is called Nurses for Nursing Homes. Here’s the beautiful part. We had about $100 million, but you’re the best negotiator I’ve ever met in my life and you appropriately said, “Go out and get the governors because they should chip in, every single one of them.” And every single one did. They knew one way or the other you’re going to get it out of them. So, all the governors came in. They actually wanted to do it because it’s the right thing for their states. They’ve been great. And so, we got now more than a quarter billion dollars of grants that go to nurses. They can get up to $50,000 a year. That’s a lot of money. And no matter what kind of education you get, we can make sure that you have an opportunity as long as you’re working in one of these facilities. So, we have all the details on the website. It’s up now. Start applying. Start getting your money. Nursing is one of the best jobs out there. I’ll speak as a doctor. We can’t do anything without nurses. So, please come help us. And we love our nurses and we’re taking care of our nurses, and it’s my honor.

President Trump is the author of The Art of the Deal, Think Like a Billionaire, and Think Big. Analyst and Trump supporter Rod Martin points to The Art of the Deal, Trump's 1987 book, as an explanation of his deal-making philosophy: making big announcements, pivoting often in public statements and, Martin says, ultimately getting what he wanted all along. Critics contend that Trump's books were published decades ago or were aimed at making money, not shedding light. "Generally," Martin said, "critics don't read The Art of the Deal. If they did, they would understand."
