Published Date: 7/22/2026
Notice
Summary
HRSA is updating its Advanced Nursing Education Program form by removing the part-time option for Nurse Midwife and Nurse Anesthetist trainees since only full-time students qualify now. This change affects schools and students in master’s and doctoral nursing programs and aims to simplify reporting. Public comments are open until September 21, 2026, so get your thoughts in before then!
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Full‑time only for two specialties
If you are a Nurse Midwife or Nurse Anesthetist trainee, only full‑time students in master’s or doctoral programs qualify for these ANE program traineeships; part‑time enrollment is not an eligible training status and HRSA removed the Part‑Time column from the ANE Program Specific Form to reflect that rule.
Reported application burden hours
HRSA reports a total annual burden of 2,415 hours for this information collection across 345 respondents, with an average of 7 hours per response. The table shows: Advanced Nursing Education Workforce — 156 respondents, total 1,092 hours; Nurse Anesthetist Traineeship — 61 respondents, total 427 hours; ANE‑Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners — 54 respondents, total 378 hours; ANE‑Nurse Practitioner Residency and Fellowship — 64 respondents, total 448 hours; Maternity Care Nursing Workforce Expansion — 10 respondents, total 70 hours.
ANE form simplified for applicants
HRSA removed the Part‑Time column under the Nurse Midwife and Nurse Anesthetist headers on the Advanced Nursing Education (ANE) Program Specific Form to match current program requirements and to minimize confusion for applicants and awardees.
