Update from Rallies held across the state on Feb. 26, 2011
Here is the update from our Legislative Chair Rosemary Liguori:
The Media Awareness Rallies held on the 26th of February were a huge success! About 250
Nurses, NPs, families and friends marched and chanted with signs requesting the barriers to be lifted. At each Rally, speakers, such as legislators, ARNPS and patients spoke. There were TV coverage, radio coverage and Newspaper interviews. The theme was "Increase Access, Reduce Costs, Let ARNPs Do Their Jobs".
The cities in which the rallies were presented were: Orlando, Miami, Sarasota, Tallahassee, Pensacola. If you would like to view the videos and photos of the Rallies, please log on to cap-pac.com.
