Establishes program for recruitment, training, and retention of health care professionals in veterans memorial homes; appropriates $370,000.

This bill establishes a two-year program to address staffing shortages at New Jersey's veterans memorial homes (Menlo Park, Paramus, and Vineland). It creates two key mechanisms: (1) a scholarship program reimbursing current staff for nursing education (LPN/RN) with a mandatory two-year work commitment post-graduation, and (2) recruitment bonuses of up to $6,000 per new nurse, paid over two years. The $370,000 appropriation allocates $120,000 for recruitment bonuses and $250,000 for education reimbursements, with repayment requirements for staff leaving early. The program also mandates specialized training in geriatric care, PTSD management, and trauma-informed care for veterans, requiring annual reports on outcomes to the legislature.
