Among the about $960 million of line items in the Legislature-approved state budget that were vetoed June 12 by Gov. Ron DeSantis were two grants totaling nearly $6 million intended to enhance nursing education at Florida State College at Jacksonville and Jacksonville University.

Despite the loss of resources, both institutions plan to continue enhancing health care education.

A $2.8 million grant that would have allowed FSCJ to expand its program facilities was eliminated.
