Want Safe Staffing? Get Political!

MNA Educational Video on Nurses and Political Action

Nearly everything nurses do and every problem nurses confront in their daily practice, including problems associated with nurse staffing levels, is influenced by and can be addressed by the political process.  To help educate nurses on the role and value of political action in protecting their practice, their patients and their profession, the MNA has created a new 12-minute video entitled, “If You Want Safe Staffing: Get Political.”  The video features interviews with politically active nurses and legislators discussing why nurses need to become politically involved, with specific examples of steps nurses can take to impact the political process – from writing letters and visiting legislators and providing information - to becoming involved in political campaigns of candidates who are supportive of nurses’ issues.
