How Do the American Nurses Association & Board of Registered Nursing Work Together To Advance the Profession?

As a nurse how involved are you with your state nursing association? How involved are you with your state board of registered nursing? Do you know the difference between the two organizations, their roles, and how they work together to advance the nursing profession? And what is your role in working with both of them to make sure your nursing voice is heard? If more nurses aren't present at decision tables, do you know who's making decisions on our behalf?
Dr. Marketa Houskova is the Executive Director of the American Nurses Association of California and a Registered Nurse joins Nurse Alice in this episode to talk about the role of ANA/C, the Board of Registered Nursing, and how nursing being more familiar with policy and politics is the only way to really advance the profession.
