Statistically, one in every fifty voters in the U.S. is a registered nurse. There is power in nursing! Yet everyday the Ohio General Assembly and various state regulatory agencies make decisions that impact a nurse’s ability to practice, sometimes without any input from that nurse-you!
- Shouldn’t there be a group or groups in the state to give you the tools you need to communicate with legislators?
- Shouldn’t a group of nurses who understand your professional life be advocating for you?
- Is anyone watching these state decision-makers closely and providing you the opportunity to learn all about laws or rules important to nursing or the greater healthcare community?
On February 20, 2013, join various nursing groups from across the state as they come together to unlock the doors of Ohio politics for nurses across the state!
