For example, recently the Washington State Legislature want to limit the number of hours you can work in a day. Max is 8 in 24hrs. So no more doubles or 12 hr shifts! ?? I like my 12 hr shifts and getting pay extra for double time. How can I as a nurse prevent this bill from passing?

Davy - thank you for your input. Basically, the nursing profession do not have much saying into the policy-review process.

Ruby - I just read on the forum about the NP left her infant in the car for 8 hours. Very sad :(. No, I am curious. One of my co-worker is taking a class in health policy. We discussed on how the nursing profession can influence health policy to transform the healthcare system and improve patient care.

I have a question about how a registered nurse can influence policy. For example, what are some opportunities for me to participate in policy review?
