As a group we have emailed a number of influential stakeholders for H.R. 2043 Nurse Education, Expansion, and Development Act of 2009. These include Representative Henry A. Waxman for the House Committee on Energy and Commerce; Linda Ault (BSN, MSN) of the Virginia Nurses Association; Kemper McCauley (BSN), the director of the surgical floor at Augusta Health; Linda Sobel (PhD, RN) of James Madison University; and Congressman Jim Moran, representing the 8th district of Virginia. H.R. 2043 currently resides in the House Committee on Energy and Commerce and based upon the reasons previously mentioned, we feel that their involvement is key to the continued passage of this bill.
Based upon the comments from previous posts, it is clear that James Madison University nursing students for the class 2011 support H.R. 2043 in that there is an obvious need for increased nursing faculty. We hope to see this bill progress and look forward to positive changes as we enter the workforce.
