Policy & Advocacy

In this week's Washington Weekly, take action and tell your representative to cosponsor and pass H.R. 728.

AACN strongly opposes decreasing federal dollars by this magnitude and believes that safeguarding the public is not only done through defense, but by supporting academic and public health efforts as well.

AACN applauds the introduction of the Title VIII Nursing Workforce Reauthorization Act of 2019 by House Nursing Caucus Co-Chairs, Representatives David Joyce (R-OH) and Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI); House Nursing Caucus Vice Co-Chairs, Representatives Suzanne Bonamici (D-OR) and Rodney Davis (R-IL); and Representatives Doris Matsui (D-CA), Kathy Castor (D-FL), David McKinley (R-WV), and Lauren Underwood (D-IL).

On January 2-3, AACN Board Chair Dr. Ann Cary and President and CEO Dr. Deborah Trautman celebrated the commencement of the 116^th Congress on Capitol Hill. AACN leadership met with over 35 Members of Congress, on both sides of the aisle, to share the importance of advancing health care and higher education.
