A 6192 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires nursing education on inflammatory breast cancer.

This bill requires all nursing schools in New Jersey to include specific education on inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) in their professional nursing curricula. IBC is a rare, aggressive form of breast cancer that often causes skin inflammation, thickening, and pain without a lump or visible mammogram results, and it disproportionately affects younger women, Black women, and overweight individuals. The curriculum must be developed with input from medical experts on IBC diagnosis and treatment. The requirement takes effect 12 months after the bill is enacted.
