Thanks to Diana Mason, RN, FAAN for airing this interview and helping nurses and others understand HR 3679 The National Nurse Act of 2011. I hope many nurses will take the time to listen to the archieved interview and lend their support to this important legislation… Like early nursing leaders, we can continue to advocate for change that will result in improved health outcomes for our nation.
