To Congresswoman Lois Capps, the original sponsor of HR 4903, the National Nurse Act of 2006; the 42 House Congressional House members representing 19 states who co-sponsored the bill; the national, state, and local organizations who endorsed HR 4903; the graduate and undergraduate nursing students who chose this as their project for policy and leadership classes; the journals, newspapers and newsletters who wrote about the National Nurse/Campaign; and last but not least, the thousands of supporters who sent in health tips, letters of support, and financial contributions, the National Nursing Network Organization extends our gratitude and appreciation. We look forward to continuing our efforts working side by side with you in 2007 to establish an Office of the National Nurse.

“Congressman Frank states he is pleased to support H.R. 4903 and looks forward to supporting it in the 110th Congress.”

The National Nurse Team receives daily emails from supporters and interested members of the public and would like to use this opportunity to share a few of these with you.

“Thank you for the opportunity to support such a courageous and much-needed public effort. Our nation has a venerated history of grassroots efforts affecting huge change in our country, so it's an honor to be a part of such an effort.”  (CA supporter)

“I have added your link to my front-page, http://www.socomds.com and contacted my US Representative.” (CT supporter)

“I think we should try to get ANA on board with the National Nurse concept. Maybe we could start a letter wring campaign to ANA and show them that many nurses are pro National Nurse. We also need to point out that this is not an effort to diminish the importance of ANA. We need unity.... so having ANA and the state organizations as well as the specialty nursing organizations on board will give us the voice that we need.” (FL supporter)

“The Office of the National Nurse is a positive way to elevate the profile of the nursing profession. I believe that this is a way to bring attention to nursing, to instill pride and to recruit new nurses. Most of all it is a way to work towards better health for the citizens of this country by utilizing nurses more effectively.” (NJ supporter)

On Thursday, January 4, 2007 members of the National Nursing Network Organization will be presenting the proposal to create an Office of the National Nurse to the Channel Island Chapter of the ONS and we would like to invite you to attend this free event.

Our understanding is that CEUs will be offered. The event will take place at Santa Barbara City College Building PS-101 (721 Cliff Drive Santa Barbara CA 93109-2394)

Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. and the event will begin at 7:00 p.m.

Please RSVP teri@nationalnurse.info if you are interested in attending. We look forward to greeting you in the New Year.
