National Nurses Month Closes with Community Engagement Focus
The final weekly focus of National Nurses Month is Community Engagement. ANA encourages nurses and nurse advocates to educate members of their community on what nurses do beyond the bedside — advocacy, shaping public policy, or serving as organizational board members, among other duties.
Discover ways to engage:
- Legislative advocacy: ANA works closely with federal and state leaders to ensure that nurses’ needs are always top of mind when drafting relevant legislation. Add your voice and impact the future of all nurses. Visit the RNAction Center.
- Addressing racism in nursing: ANA is taking meaningful action for its own past actions that have negatively impacted nurses of color and working with leading nursing organizations to address the issue of racism in nursing. Learn how you can get involved and find resources for change.
