Description

In the second installment of this series, we will discuss the workings of state government, focusing specifically on the legislative process and the role of the Texas Legislature. This session aims to equip nurses with a thorough understanding of how state government operates, providing insights into how laws and policies are formulated and enacted.

We will also emphasize the importance of nurse involvement in the political process, discussing why it is crucial for nurses to engage with and advise their local elected officials on issues central to nursing, healthcare, and patient safety. By understanding the legislative framework and actively participating in advocacy, nurses can influence healthcare policies that impact their profession and the well-being of their patients.
