Home > Nurse Legislative Day
Be Heard in Olympia!
It’s time to get engaged and get active. As a nurse, you have one of the most trusted
and respected voices – it’s time to use it! Legislators and the public recognize
that our daily experiences caring for the health of our patients and communities
give us valuable and unique insight. You advocate for your patients every day. During
Nurse Legislative Day, you’ll learn how to be a powerful advocate for all patients
in Washington.
Learn about the critical issues facing nurses, nursing and health in Washington
this year, but most importantly, you’ll discover how you can make a difference in
Olympia.
