ARNPs United Lobby Day February 28, 2019

ARNPs United of Washington State is pleased to partner with the Washington State Nurses Association (WSNA) for Lobby Day on February 28, 2019. The event will begin at 8:30 am at The Heritage Room, 604 Water Street, in Olympia. At 9:45 am, ARNPs will begin a breakout session next door at the Waterstreet Cafe. The session will end at 11:30. Beginning at 11 am there will be food service available for attendees to order off the menu. 

To register for Lobby Day, go to WSNA's web site. https://www.wsna.org/calendar/event/lobby-day-2018/ . You do not need to be a WSNA member to register. Instead, use the promo code ARNP2019.  

If you plan to attend, please make appointments to meet with your legislators in the afternoon. ARNPs United have two important bills we will be lobbying, HB 1432 which is a hospital privileging bill reintroduced from last year and HB 1433 which would require ARNPs be paid the same as physicians when billing for the same code. The same bills will be introduced in the Senate soon.

Please join your WA State NAPNAP Legislative members as we support ARNPs United for Lobby Day.  Questions? - contact Louise Kaplan, ARNPs United Legislative chair, at kaplanla@juno.com or Bethany Jerabek, WA State NAPNAP Legislative chiar, at jerabek.be@gmail.com
