Nurses are in a unique position to get involved in public policy advocacy. Many infusion nurses advocate for a change in their organization’s policies in order to improve patient outcomes. This act of speaking on behalf of your patients, yourself, and your colleagues translates well into the public policy arena because it involves the same process: becoming informed about an issue, understanding its effects, gathering support, and speaking out to change things.

INS feels that it is important to empower its members to take grassroots action, and to speak for themselves in the locations where they live and work. We hope the information provided on this Web site encourages you to stay abreast of infusion-related legislation at the federal and state levels and to contact your legislators on issues of importance to infusion nurses.
