Legislative Update: URGENT PLEASE ACT NOW!!!!

We need HB 495 heard in the senate asap!! The session ends next week and we are being put off because of the "contentious" nature of the bill. Senator Ivey & Senator Mills and his staff worked very hard to make this bill for the best interest of patients in Louisiana.

Please reach out to any and all senators (see link below) and put on the pressure to bring this bill to a vote. There are over 60,000 RNs and over 6,000 APRNs in this state, and we elected these officials to do their job!! We have strength in our numbers and our passion to do what's best for patients! I implore you to send some emails, make some calls. We've come too far to be disregarded. We won't get another chance like this past year! Please reach out to me if you have questions.
