State
The AACNA's Policy & State Government Affairs program diligently monitors trends in nursing-related legislation across states. Each legislative session sees the introduction of over 1,000 bills related to nursing and healthcare, all of which are carefully reviewed.
We offer select reports, offering background and overviews of various issues, along with details on legislation enacted by state. These reports cover a range of topics including scope of practice for advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs), nurse staffing regulations, protection of the title "nurse," interstate nurse licensure compacts, and measures addressing workplace violence.
