Lobby Day 2000 another success

More than 300 nurses from all corners of the commonwealth turned out for the most successful and well-attended MNA Lobby Day at the Statehouse in the 15 years the MNA has hosted the event. The day featured presentations by nursing leaders and MNA lobbyists about the MNA legislative package, with a focus on the needlestick injury prevention bill, the comparative nursing data bill and the statewide health care ballot initiative. Among those speaking were MNA President Karen Daley, above, and American Nurses Association Executive Director David Hennage, who flew in from Washington to attend the event. In addition, more than 40 legislators took to the podium to voice their support for nurses and the MNA policy initiatives.
