Commission for Nurse Reimbursement

🌟 Thank You for an Outstanding Event! 🌟 A heartfelt thank you to Sharon Pearce for delivering such an inspiring and insightful Legislative Taskforce Training last week. Your expertise and engaging delivery made a significant impact on everyone in attendance! One of the key takeaways from the meeting: How to Approach Legislators 👥 Know Who You're Talking To Understand your legislator’s background, including their professional history and key concerns. This will help you craft a personalized and impactful message. 🗳️ Know What Moves Them Research what issues and causes your legislator is passionate about. Tailor your message to align with their interests. For example, if they have a track record of supporting healthcare reform, emphasize how nurse reimbursement models can enhance patient care and reduce healthcare costs. 📜 What Is Their Legislative Record? Review their past voting history and sponsored bills. If they've supported similar initiatives in the past, highlight this connection. This demonstrates that your request aligns with their previous actions and values. 🏛️ What Committee(s) Do They Serve On? Identify which legislative committees they are part of. If they serve on health-related committees, this is your chance to emphasize the direct impact of nurse reimbursement on healthcare quality. 🎉 Know Their Party Affiliation While bipartisan support is ideal, understanding their party affiliation can help you frame your argument in a way that resonates with their party's platform. Show how your proposal aligns with their party's values and goals. 📈 Where Are They on the Seniority Scale? Senior legislators often have more influence. Tailor your approach based on their level of experience and authority. By understanding your legislator’s background and aligning your message with their priorities, nursers can advocate more effectively for the changes our profession needs.

🌟 PSA: Nurse Reimbursement is Not a Zero-Sum Game! 🌟 There's a major misconception that increasing reimbursement for #nursing services means taking away from other areas. However, this is a false dichotomy. By investing in nursing care, we’re not simply redistributing a limited pool of resources; we’re enhancing overall healthcare quality and efficiency. The Commission for Nurse Reimbursement is working hard to debunk the zero-sum myth and advocate for a system where investing in nursing is seen as an investment in better healthcare outcomes for all.

🌟 #Nurses, Ever Wonder How Legislation Actually Supports Us? 🌟 Feeling unsure about how laws impact our #nursing careers? We get it—it can be confusing. But here’s a great example of how the legislative process can lead to meaningful change! Take the California Nurse-to-Patient Ratio Law (2004). 🤔 Before this law, nurses were often overwhelmed with too many patients, which affected both patient care and our well-being. Evidence showed that hospitals with lower nurse-to-patient ratios had better patient outcomes. Nurses from across California, led by the California Nurses Association (CNA), rallied together. They shared their stories, conducted research, and worked closely with lawmakers to propose a law that set specific patient limits to ensure safer workloads. In 2004, Governor Gray Davis signed this pivotal bill into law, mandating nurse-to-patient ratios across all hospitals in the state. The result? Safer patient care and improved working conditions for nurses! So, even if the legislative process feels complex, remember: staying informed and advocating for change makes a real difference. The Commission for Nurse Reimbursement is here to support you every step of the way! 💪💙 Join the movement here: https://lnkd.in/gpPfHpHR Comment below if you participated in getting this bill passed or if you have other great examples of nurses leading policy change. #Nursing #Healthcare #LegislativeImpact #NurseAdvocacy #PatientCare #NurseLife Rebecca Love RN, MSN, FIEL Sharon Pearce Melissa Mills, RN, BSN, MHA Renee Ellmers, BSN, RN
