The 2021 General Assembly established a $500,000 Nursing Preceptor Incentive Program (NPIP)<\/strong> to provide financial incentives for practitioners who serve as otherwise uncompensated preceptors for APRN students to help increase access to care, address the primary care shortage, handle mental health crises, and manage chronic diseases. All of these factors are crucial in improving the health and wellness of all Virginians. For the fiscal year 2024, the General Assembly has approved a budget allocation of $3.5 million.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

VDH is unable to provide tax advice or answer questions about taxes that may or may not be owed for any incentives offered. Participants should consult a tax or financial advisor regarding any potential tax obligations related to an incentive.\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n
