Professional responsibilities require nurses to know the laws and policies that affect nursing practice and healthcare. Being knowledgeable is not always enough; sometimes, nurses must reach out to legislators. This assignment requires you to seek out a current bill in local or federal legislation. Many websites, including those of congressmen and senators, exist. Choose a topic of interest that affects your practice. Research the topic and write a letter to your senator or congressman (state or federal). In the letter, include the following: • The name of the bill and a URL link to information related to it; • A brief description of the bill; • The bill’s impact on your practice and patients; • An anecdote that describes its importance; and • Your request that they either support or oppose the bill. Support your ideas with research. Your letter must be 2 pages and double spaced (for ease of grading). It must also include a title page and reference page.
