Save the Date: TNA Nurses Day at the Capitol - March 3rd and 4th, 2025

Posted 4 months ago by Christopher Vestal in Conference and Talks

During TNA's Nurse Day at the Capitol, nurses from diverse backgrounds unite to advocate for policies that enhance the nursing profession. The event provides a platform for nurses to delve into nursing-related matters, pinpoint avenues for impacting healthcare policy, and craft personalized advocacy messages. We are excited to continue with this biennial event and can’t wait for hundreds of nurses to come together to amplify their voices!

The Continuing Nursing Education (CNE) segment of the event offers insights into the current public health landscape in Texas, the nurse's role in shaping health policy, the nursing legislative agenda, and features a legislative panel. Following this, nurses engage in a series of meetings with individual legislators at the Texas Capitol, where they educate lawmakers on nursing issues and push for necessary policy reforms.

Learning Outcome Statement: The nurse will be able to compose customized advocacy position statements related to nurse-sensitive healthcare policies to be used during discussions with Texas legislators, providing information and direct insights into nursing issues and advocate for change.
