Several key issues often dominate nursing lobbying efforts:
Safe Staffing Levels: Advocating for laws that mandate minimum nurse-to-patient ratios to ensure safe and effective care. Workplace Safety: Pushing for policies that protect nurses from workplace violence and injury. Nurse Licensure Compact: Supporting the adoption of the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) to allow nurses to practice across state lines more easily. Healthcare Access: Promoting policies that increase access to healthcare services, especially in underserved areas. Funding for Nursing Education: Lobbying for increased financial support for nursing education programs to address the nursing shortage.
