#EndNurseAbuse
One in four nurses experience work place violence, such as physical violence, disruptive behavior, intimidation or harassment from patients, patients family, or hospital personnel.
For this recording, ANA worked with the iHeart political team as well Sarah Baca, an ANA and Colorado State Nurses Association member who attended our 2019 Hill Day and Membership Assembly, and who spoke passionately about the issue of workplace violence in a meeting with Rep. Diana DeGette (CO-1), who committed to supporting the relevant legislation following the meeting – a clear sign of Sarah’s ability to persuade on this important topic.
The 60-second advertisement articulates the prevalence and scope of the challenges that nurses face, and closes by encouraging listeners to learn more and get involved by engaging at ANA's endnurseabuse.org microsite. This is a great way to build on the collaborative work completed following ANA's June webinar, where attendees have been encouraged to deepen their involvement by signing our #EndNurseAbuse pledge, taking the relevant legislative action, or both.
CNA Call for Volunteers 100 Nurses for 100 Legislators
The Colorado Nurses Association (CNA) Board of Directors, in partnership with the CNA Government Affairs & Public Policy Committee want you to become a Nurse Legislator Liaison.
Our intention with this work is to match 100 CNA members with Colorado's 35 Senators and 65 Representatives by connecting you personally with Senators and Representatives from your home Districts. We want to build a strong, consistent voice of nursing in Colorado, somewhat akin to "When Nurses Speak, Legislators Listen".
If you are interested in joining this momentum, please submit your name and e-mail address to [email protected] or call us at 855 848 8970 for more information.
