Policy & Advocacy

Practicing nurses have first-hand experience regarding the effects of healthcare laws and regulations in providing quality care. This gives the nursing community a unique perspective on health care policy. ANA is in part an advocacy organization, charged with using these insights to set policy and influence health care legislation.

Belonging to my professional organization allows me to remain current about issues that affect the ability of registered nurses to provide care to the American public. I know that the work of nursing cannot occur unless there is money available for ANA to be present at the negotiating table when major decisions are made about health care in America.
