To address legislative issues, nurses must be aware of the power we have as respected professionals to influence health care policy. Our goal is to encourage nurses to take advantage of the power we have in numbers and influence to affect the shaping of healthcare policy and to become politically active in the legislative process.
AAACN’s Advocacy Committee is seeking new members to help further the goal of shaping healthcare policy. Members meet monthly and collaborate in a variety of ways, including reaching consensus on which legislative initiatives to support on behalf of AAACN, seeking opportunities for proactive advocacy on behalf of ambulatory care nurses, writing ViewPoint articles, and more.
We are looking for members who:
- Have passion and enthusiasm for advocating for ambulatory care nurses
- May have knowledge of the legislative process (not required, but preferred)
- Can devote time for monthly meetings and special projects
Apply by Wednesday, November 12, by 11:59 pm Eastern.
