Posted over 5 years ago by Julie Huron
We hear you WVNurses!
IMMEDIATE ACTION NEEDED FOR HB 4799:
We need WV Nurses to contact your representatives in the WV House of Delegates NOW and ask them to put HB4799 on the agenda and vote yes!
The opposition is spreading false truths about the bill and they are LOUD! We are asking you to please stand up for nursing! Have your mom, dad, brother, sister and friends call too!
Most Delegates do not have staff, you can leave a message and /or send an email). Introduce yourself and tell them "I am a RN working on the front lines of healthcare at the bedside, and I am asking that you encourage the House Health Committee to RUN and vote YES on HB4799, the Patient Safety and Transparency Act".
1. MONDAY: We are asking for nurses to show up in scrubs, (8am-4pm) make appointments with your Delegate, monitor the session and share as much as possible that #HB4799 is about #transparency not ratios. Misinformation is being shared at the Legislature.
2. TUESDAY: Again, show up in scrubs 8am-4pm, make appointments, attend the session, attend the House Health Committee at 4pm.
3. WED: Repeat Monday.
4. THUR: Attend the #WVNA #PolicySummit. #Join WVNA if you are not a member, and join the WVN-PAC. Take the Shuttle to the capitol and repeat #1.

5. FRIDAY: Repeat #1!
